Use Values to name data that later steps save, compare, or insert into text and URLs. It is a section above Steps in Add New / Edit, not an Add Step; each row has a name and an optional starter. Values starts collapsed when no names are declared; expand it to add one.
Names are normalized to letters, digits, and underscores, and must start with a letter. Save Value and If / Wait Matches Saved pick from this list.
Starter text is used only when the automation has no saved value for that name yet. Restart keeps a captured value. The live map persists across links, cycles, Pause/Resume, and Restart until you Remove the automation or start a new one.
How to use it
- Click Add under Values. Enter a name. Optional starter text.
- Add a Save Value step and pick that name.
- Use
{{name}}in Type Text, mid-flow Go To Web Page, or a webhook message. Unknown names become empty. If / Else and Wait Until Matches use the Saved operand, not the token. Settings webhook Test interpolates against an empty map and warns when the template contains{{name}}.
Editor Test on Save Value does not write the live map.
Limits and related controls
Values declares names and starter text. Save Value reads page data into those names, while If / Else compares them. Declare a name before trying to select it in a step.

The side panel tour is the first place Values appears in the sheet. Walking through links is a common run that saves a field on each URL.
