🔑 Environment Variables

​

Why Use Environment Variables?

• Reference values across multiple workflows without duplicating them.
• Provide different values for each environment (dev, staging, prod) while keeping key names consistent.
• Rotate secrets safely in one place instead of editing many workflows.

​

Add or Update a Variable

1. Open Settings → Environment Variables.
2. Click ➕ Add Variable or select an existing entry to edit.
3. Supply the Key (e.g., API_KEY) and Value for the chosen environment.
4. Save to make the variable instantly available for prompts and AI-generated flows.

🔐 Security: Values are encrypted at rest and only surfaced to the Nota agent while a workflow is running.

Best Practices

• Prefix keys (e.g., STRIPE_, AWS_) so they group naturally.
• Pair with Rotation Rules when values need to change on a schedule.
• Audit regularly—remove unused keys to keep prompts tidy.
