Edit: This is the customers object i am parsing from. In this example the output would be “4-person raft, 6-person raft”

You have no access to Modules in the gray area.

Add a “set variables or multiple variables” in the gray area and capture the data you need. This Data can be used by “get variable” at any point in your scenario after the module.

I just tried this by adding all the variables i need to a set multiple variable step, however im still not able to “Get” these values after the gray area

You have to type in the name you gave the variable in the “set variable” module.

Example:

Set Variable

So if you need the data from the trigger module set the variables you need. Then get those data by using a “get variable” or multiple variables, and enter the titles of the needed variables into the get variable module.

This worked thank you for your insight. My confusion is that i was expecting the Get Multiple Variable step to automatically populate with the set variable names within the search
