Environment Variables in Scout

Environment variables are a way to store configuration information that can be accessed by your workflow’s blocks. They are useful for storing sensitive information, such as API keys, that you don’t want to hardcode into your app, or for storing variables that you want to use across multiple apps.

Setting Environment Variables

To set environment variables in the Scout dashboard, navigate to the environment variables tab on the settings page. You can access the environment variables page at https://studio.scoutos.com/settings/environment-variables.

Accessing Environment Variables

After you have added an environment variable to your account, you can access it in your workflow by using the _env object in your Jinja templates.

For example, if you have an environment variable called API_KEY, you can access it in your workflow like this:

{{ _env.API_KEY }}
