Data Storage
What is Data Storage Entity
The Data Storage entity saves data to be used in the subsequent steps of the workflow. Data can be stored in the form of a key-value pair. A key-value pair is two values connected in a way such that the value can be accessed using the key.
Built-in operations in Data Storage Entity
This topic describes the list of operations that can be performed on a Data Storage entity in the Backflipt platform.
| Data Storage Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Value OR Default | It can be used to act like a variable and hold string, object, and array values within the data storage entity. |
| Get Value |
It can be used to get a value for a given key. If the key has no value, it returns the default value. |
| Remove Value | It can be used to remove a value for a given key. |
| Set Value | It can be used to set a value for a key. |
| Get Value for JSON Path | This operation is similar to the Get Value operation, but it can be used to extract the value of a key using the JSON path. |
For the Get Value, Remove Value, and Set Value operations, The user must provide a scope for these operations. The scope determines whether the value is accessible for the current run, current flow (all the executions of the flow), the user (all the workflows the user has access to), and the organization (accessible to all the users across the organization).
