Automation Inputs
Automation inputs let you add one input to a bunch of steps at once. By using automation inputs, you can set something like a collection address just once at the top of the automation, rather than having to manually input it in every step that requires it.
This functionality is particularly useful when using Templates from Explore. You can set all necessary inputs in one place at the top of your automation, and these values will then be passed on to all the steps within the automation.
How to Add an Input to an Automation?
Click on Add first input create a new input.
Name your automation input, for example 'collectionAddress'. Note that spaces are not supported in input names.
Tip: If you use camelCase when naming your automation inputs, the name will be displayed as 'Camel Case'.
Select the Type, e.g. String for simple text.
Add a description. This is especially helpful if you're sharing your automation with others.
Choose Acting as. Acting as adds things like a collection picker to the input field for convenience. In most cases you can leave Acting as empty.
Untick Required if you want to set a default value for this input.
Tip: Default values are useful when you rarely want to change that value.
Click Add to finalise.
You can now add this Automation input to any step in your Automation.
