What is a "Data Pill" in Flow Designer?

A "Data Pill" in Flow Designer is fundamentally a variable placeholder used in actions. It allows users to dynamically reference and manipulate data within their flows. By representing specific pieces of data that can be passed between actions, data pills facilitate the transfer and use of information throughout the flow process. For example, when a flow retrieves data from a table or an external source, the information is encapsulated in these data pills, enabling subsequent actions in the flow to utilize that data without the need for manual entry or static values.

The concept of data pills enhances the flexibility and effectiveness of Flow Designer by supporting the use of dynamic inputs and outputs. This means that as the flow executes, it can adapt based on the data encountered, making automations much more robust and context-aware. The ability to reference data pills is a key feature in constructing automation workflows, as it allows the integration of varying data inputs seamlessly into the flow's logic.
