Environment Variables

Environment Variables

Environment Variable is a very useful resource to send variables values to the context of your script. You can, for example, add tokens of accounts and devices to be used later in the script when it runs. The Analysis will get these variables as “environment” parameters and used them in the context of your script.



  1. New Environment variable:  add or remove an environment variable.
  2. Variable Key: the variable name
  3. Variable Value: the value of the variable. integer or string
You can have up to 20 environment variables for each Analysis.
If you attempt to add additional items beyond the limit, a notification will appear indicating that the maximum capacity has been reached.

How to use Environment Variables

Environment Variables can be integrated into your Analysis via the context.environment parameter when writing your scripts, which allows you to pass variable values into your script's context.




Do you need to store sensitive information, such as passwords or API keys, as environment variables? You should use Secrets, which are encrypted environment variables designed for this purpose. Learn more about Secrets here.
