How are flow variables accessed in the Flow Designer data panel?

• A. As Data Pills
• B. As Text Fields
• C. As Dropdowns
• D. As Numeric Fields

Answer: (A)

Flow variables are accessed as Data Pills in the Flow Designer data panel. Data Pills are dynamic tokens that represent values produced by earlier steps, the trigger, or system data, and you drop them into inputs or map them to fields in subsequent actions. They resolve to the actual runtime values when the flow runs, so you can pass data through the flow without hard-coding values. This is why they’re used instead of plain text fields, dropdowns, or numeric fields—the latter are static inputs, while Data Pills provide the live data references needed to connect steps. For example, you can insert the Data Pill for a trigger’s incident number into an action that updates that incident, ensuring the flow uses the correct value automatically.
