Variables settings

Variables store secrets and configuration values your automations and environments reference — API keys, tokens, and non-secret config.

Manage variables

Open Settings → Variables to add, edit, or delete variables. Environment variables and secrets share one editor — set the Type per row to Runtime Secret or Environment Variable.

Add several at once

Click Add secrets, then paste a .env file into the field. Konvio parses each KEY=value line into its own row and defaults the type to Runtime Secret. Paste a single name (no =) to add one row instead. Set the Apply to scope before saving.

Naming

Use clear, consistent names:

  • LOGS_API_TOKEN
  • PAGERDUTY_WEBHOOK_SECRET
  • DEPLOY_REGION

Scope

Variables may be workspace-wide or scoped to an application depending on the settings UI. Check the scope bar before saving.

Secrets hygiene

  • Never paste secrets into conversation messages or docs pages
  • Rotate variables when credentials leak or people leave
  • Use least-privilege tokens for each connector

Reference in automations

Automation steps reference variables by name. Consult your automation builder for the exact syntax.
