Saving Variables from API Responses in Zendesk Bots

Learn how to save and use variables from API responses in your Zendesk bot to enhance conversation flows.

How can I save variables from an API response in Zendesk?

After configuring and testing an API call in Zendesk, you can save values from the API's JSON response as variables. You can save up to 12 variables in a Make API call step, with each variable's value limited to the first 280 characters.

To save a variable, expand the response data in the Configuration panel, identify the data you want to save, and click Save. Name the new variable using only lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores. This allows you to use the data in subsequent steps of your bot's conversation flow.
