What it does

Template turns a reusable text pattern into a rendered string. It replaces variable references with current values, then writes the result to an output variable.

Use it to build URLs, labels, filenames, messages, search phrases, and other strings that combine fixed text with Flow data.

Use it when

  • Build a URL path or query from variables.
  • Create a readable label from extracted data.
  • Format text before sending it to another Block or integration.

Do not use it when

  • You only need to store a simple value; use Variables.
  • You need numeric calculation or data conversion.
  • The target Block already accepts the variables directly.

Settings

Write the template text and choose the output variable name. The template editor uses normal Scrapeer variable syntax.

Template

Required: No
Variables
Yes
Description
Text pattern rendered with current Flow variables, such as {{company}} jobs.

Output variable

Required: Recommended
Variables
Variable name
Description
Name that stores the rendered text. The schema default is templateOutput.

Outputs

Template writes the rendered string to the configured output variable.

outputVariableNamestring

The rendered template saved under the configured variable name.

renderedstring

Rendered text shown in the run output.

Example Flow

Template is useful when a later Block needs one setting built from several values.

  1. Define values such as {{baseUrl}} and {{searchTerm}}.
  2. Render a template such as {{baseUrl}}?q={{searchTerm}} into {{searchUrl}}.
  3. Use {{searchUrl}} in Go To URL or another later Block.

Errors and fixes

Start with symptoms visible in the editor or Inspector, then check the earliest Block that produced the wrong page state, variable, or output.

The rendered text contains empty gaps.

Check
Check whether every referenced variable exists before Template runs.
Fix
Create or extract the missing variables earlier in the Flow.

A later Block cannot use the template result.

Check
Check that the output variable name is set.
Fix
Set an output variable name and reference it with {{variableName}}.

Local and cloud runs

Local and cloud runtimes both interpolate Template text with current Flow variables.

The worker writes the rendered result when an output variable name is present, so keep the output variable populated.
