Global variables
Global variables are persistent values you can define and use throughout your entire Workspace and within Workflows. With Global variables, users can store centralized information and pass data between Workflow. This improves consistency in your Workflows and saves valuable time as you define them once only. For example, teams can use global variables for reoccurring credentials, monitoring and updating a status, and many other use cases.

There are two distinct types of Global Variables:
- Raw value variable
- Secret variable
