Keep your form values in one place

Store the answers you type again and again in one Edit Fields node, ready for any form.

One object for your answers

Start a workflow with When Started and add Edit Fields. Create one field, formValues, of type Object, with a key per form field, such as name, email and message.

The settings of the Your form values step: one field, formValues, of type Object.The settings of the Your form values step: one field, formValues, of type Object.
The formValues field

Replace the sample values with yours, and add keys as you need them: phone, company, address. Later steps read them as {{ $input.formValues.email }}.

What not to store

A node’s normal fields travel with the workflow when you share or export it. Keep secrets such as passwords and API tokens in Credentials instead.

Key takeaways

  1. One Edit Fields node holds a formValues object.
  2. Add a key for each field on the form.
  3. Never put passwords or tokens in a node's normal fields.
