• Exact Match — Flow starts when user sends exactly your keyword (e.g. "hi").
• Message Contains — Flow starts when message contains your keyword anywhere.
• First Message — Triggers on the very first message from this contact ever.
• Fallback — Catches any message not matched by other automations. Use as a catch-all.
• Webhook — External system (Shopify, WooCommerce, API) triggers the flow.

Tip: Keyword matching is case-insensitive.

Variables store user responses so you can personalize messages.

Step 1 — Collect a variable:
• Add a Collect Input node.
• Set the question (e.g. "What is your name?").
• Set the variable name — letters only (e.g. name, phone, email).

Step 2 — Use the variable:
• In any message node, type {{variable_name}}.
• Example: Hello {{name}}! How can I help you?

Step 3 — Send to API:
• In an HTTP Request node, include {{name}} in your request body.
• Save the API response in a new variable (e.g. order_status).

System variables available:
• {{contact_name}} — Contact's saved name
• {{contact_phone}} — Contact's phone number

Finding and typing variable names manually can be slow. The Variable Helper makes it instant!

How to use it:
1. Open any of your automation flows in the Flow Builder.
2. Press Ctrl + H on your keyboard at any time.
3. A modal will pop up showing every variable available in your current flow.
4. Click the copy icon next to any variable to copy it to your clipboard.
5. Paste it right into your message or API node.

What it finds automatically:
• Custom Variables — From your "Collect Input" nodes.
• CRM Variables — From your "Save Contact" nodes.
• HTTP Response — Extracting JSON paths from your "HTTP Request" setup.
• Webhook Payload — If your flow starts with a Webhook Trigger, it fetches your latest test request logs and builds a variable map automatically.
