Use Strings in a Workflow

Go to the Workflow Editor page by clicking on the "+ Create" button to name and create a new workflow, or by clicking on an existing workflow from the list.

  • Enter a name for the workflow, for example "Hello, Name!"

    You will be automatically redirected to the Workflow Editor page, from where you create and run your workflows:

  • Click on the Advanced button to expand the Start block of the workflow.

  • Click on (+) Add Variable, you will see two fields, where you can enter a Name and Default, tick the Output checkbox if you want to create a variable that will be returned to you from the system when you Run the workflow, or choose Input if you want the variable to insert data into the system:

  • Click on the 

    icon if you want to Delete the variable.

To add a String to the workflow, choose Common from the list with blocks, which is located on the right side of the page:

  • Choose String from the list with blocks:

  • Drag a String from the list and Drop it under the Start block when a green field appears:

 String block will appear, where you can enter the String 1 and String 2:

The type of the String is “expression”.

Start typing in the provided string field and the system will perform a dynamic search, which will show you suggestions related to what you are typing:

  • Choose the string from the suggestion drop down-menu.

At this point, if you execute the workflow, the system will perform the operation, but you will not receive any information from the workflow, because you have to add an Output to the String


Normally writing flows you will have to add a new block to the workflow. In this case we are going to use the prepopulated Assign block that was created when you made a new workflow. (The assign block can be found in the common folder on the left hand side.)

Drag the Assign block and drop it below the StringAppend block when a green field appears.

  • Start typing “result” in the Variable field and choose it from the drop-down menu.

For the Value field, we have to choose the name of the StringAppend block. You can find the name of every block in the right corner (A1, A2, A3, etc.) OR by clicking on the chevron in the bottom right corner of the block, after that type “.” and choose “result”, so the Assign block will correspond with the StringAppend block:

From here you can run your workflow and see the results!
