Configuration variables let you securely store information throughout your bot.Like bot variables, configuration variables are accessible across all Workflows and conversations. The key difference is that configuration variables are encrypted. This means an Autonomous Node cannot read or display information you store in a configuration variable.This extra layer of security makes configuration variables great for storing sensitive information, like:
API Tokens
Private IP Addresses
Usernames and passwords
If you need your variable to be available globally but don’t need/want to store it securely, use a bot variable.
