Pass Data Between Steps

Values produced by the trigger or an earlier step can become inputs to later steps.

Use the data picker

1. Select an input field in a task step.
2. Open the data picker.
3. Choose a value from the trigger, an earlier step, manual input, or a table.
4. Test the task and confirm the preview contains the expected value.

For example, pass an incoming email subject to an AI classification step, then insert the classification into a Slack message.

If a value is missing

• Test the earlier step once to collect a sample output.
• Check whether a condition can skip the source step.
• Confirm whether the value is a single item or a list.
• Add a default or branch for an empty value.
• Check for renamed fields or permission changes in the external app.

Pass personal or confidential data only to steps that need it. Never place passwords or private keys in ordinary fields that may appear in run history.
