Workflow Variables

This section describes the variables that are used in Bright Pattern Contact Center workflows and scenarios.

Variables are accessed using the common $(varname) format. They can be used in integer and string expressions.

Note: If you would like to pass information from scenarios to workflows, note that not all scenario variables pass information to workflows; however, local variables are always passed to workflows. Local variables do not contain a prefix (e.g., item., user., etc.) and their values are available to the scenario where they are defined and to the sub-scenarios that are started from that parent scenario using the Start Another Scenario block. For any variables that are not passed to workflows, you may use a Set Variable block to rename the required scenario variable into a local variable (e.g., set "varDNIS" to $(item.DNIS)).
