Using variables in workflows

Using variables in workflows - Amazon CodeCatalyst

A variable is a key-value pair that contains information that you can reference in your Amazon CodeCatalyst workflow. The value portion of the variable is replaced with an actual value when the workflow runs.

There are two types of variable that you can use in a workflow:

  • User-defined variables – These are key-value pairs that you define.

  • Predefined variables – These are key-value pairs that are emitted by a workflow automatically. There is no need for you to define them.

For more information about workflows, see Build, test, and deploy with workflows.

Note

CodeCatalyst also supports GitHub output parameters, which behave like variables and can be referenced in other actions. For more information, see Exporting GitHub output parameters and Referencing GitHub output parameters
