Variable

The Variable protocol block sets a Variable within Ctrl to a known state each time data is received into its input. Multiple blocks can be used within the same workspace to reference and update the same variable’s value besed on differing events.

Variables can be defined within Workspace Settings and allow multiple blocks to reference a piece of information anywhere within Ctrl Suite.

To set values in quick succession with precise timing, creating an Action is a better option compared to triggering multiple protocol blocks with Delay timers.

Variable

Select the Variable that this Block will control using the dropdown. (Or Navigate to Workspace Settings to create a new one).

Value

Define the value to set the variable to when triggered. This can be a string, number, object or array. i.e.:

[{'id': 1, 'name': 'User 1'},{ 'id': 3,'name': 'User 3'}]

Additionally, you can reference other variables using the $ symbol followed by the variable’s name.
