Flexible Datatypes

Declaring Custom Schemas

Create variables that represent your real business context. Define datatypes like currency (Deal Amount), dates (SLA Due Date), select menus (Country Codes), or booleans (Requires Review).

No-code field maps: Add and name variables via visual dropdown controls.
Input Validations: Guarantees variables carry correctly formatted data before execution.

▦

Attribute: DealSize Type: Numeric (Currency USD)

▦

Attribute: SLA_Deadline Type: DateTime (Auto-computed)

Dynamic Templates

Token Variable Injection

Put your attributes to work. Inject dynamic tokens directly into automated email templates, Slack notifications, or webhook parameters. Communicate details automatically with no manual copying.

Curly-Brace Placeholders: Type {{customer.name}} to inject case metadata.
Webhook Payload Mapping: Assemble complex JSON payloads dynamically.

Subject: High Alert - SLA Warning

Dear {{assignee.name}}, the case for {{client.company}} (valued at ${{case.value}}) requires review before the deadline: {{case.sla_deadline}}.

Use Cases

Data-driven process optimization

How enterprise teams utilize variables to coordinate automation.

SLA Calculations

Set deadlines based on attributes. If the case priority is marked "Critical", automatically set the SLA deadline variable to 2 hours from submission.

Product Specific Routing

Route by product tags. Direct software access requests to IT, physical device requests to Inventory Operations, and credit card applications to Finance compliance.

Dynamic Database Tags

Populate database schemas. Pass step attributes directly into SQL databases or internal datastores without writing separate query lines.

For Developers

SCIM and Metadata Mapping

Inject external metadata variables easily. Technoflow's API permits passing a nested JSON body, instantly mapping properties to existing design canvas attributes.

Flexible Payload Parser

Extract fields from nested API structures without writing code or building middleware.

Data Integrity Checks

Enforce types dynamically to prevent string values from entering numeric properties.

Metadata Attribute Schema

case_id Text (case_72910)

transaction_amount Number ($125,000)

client_tier Select (Enterprise)

is_vip Boolean (True)

FAQ

Attribute Engine FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Technoflow's metadata tagging.

The Attribute Engine supports all standard datatypes, including text (for labels, text blocks, regions), numeric values (prices, counts, durations), dates/times (deadlines, schedules), booleans (VIP flag, audit required), and complex arrays/objects (items lists, client profiles).

Yes. When triggering a workflow via API or incoming webhooks, you can pass parameters from Salesforce, HubSpot, or internal databases. The engine automatically parses and maps these values to your custom attributes, using them to evaluate rules.

You can insert double-curly brackets (e.g., {{customer_name}}, {{po_value}}) in email bodies, Slack reminders, or webhook payloads. The execution engine reads the values from the active case metadata and injects them dynamically before sending.

Yes. Technoflow indexes all custom attributes in real-time. You can filter active cases, search historical execution runs, and build custom dashboard charts based on attributes like 'region', 'priority', or 'analyst_id'.
