Create a variable in automation to use in an other automation with call automation

[MartW]

I was wondering if there is a way to create a automation variable and than use this in a different automation.

So for example create variable in automation1 lets say Var1 = 'test',

then use this Var1 in automation2 that is called from automations1 with the call automation-block.

Hi MartW,

To be clear, you mean automation variables and not Qlik Sense App variables, right?

When it comes to automation variables, there's no storage that's persisted across multiple automations or multiple runs of the same automation.

But you can indeed call another automation to retrieve an automation variable from it. You could also use a 3rd party cloud storage like Google Sheets to store variables.

Kind regards,
Emile
