The Resolve Value node takes a template expression — a string that references previous nodes and variables — and stores the evaluated result as a workflow variable. It’s the cleanest way to turn a complex reference like {{customer.orders[0].total}} into a named value you can use repeatedly.
Resolve Value node configuration form

Resolve Value configuration — write the template expression on the left and pick the output variable on the right.

​
When to use

  • Clean references — Turn {{llm_1.response.analysis.score}} into {{score}} for downstream readability.
  • Computed values — Build a derived value from multiple inputs before branching or looping on it.
  • Reusable formats — Compose a string once (e.g. a subject line, a URL) and reuse it across many downstream nodes.

​
How it works

  1. Write a template using {{}} syntax. Reference any variable or earlier node output.
  2. Name the output variable.
  3. Downstream nodes read it as {{<output_variable>}} — no need to repeat the long path.
Unlike Update Variable, Resolve Value is read-only: it evaluates and returns, but doesn’t mutate any existing variable.

Update Variable

Mutate a variable’s value instead of just computing one.

Execute Code

Use Python or JavaScript when the logic is too complex for a template.
