Broadcaster Variable
The Broadcaster Variable data node reads the current value of a broadcaster-scoped variable. Unlike flow variables, broadcaster variables persist across flow executions and are shared across all of your flows. They are saved to the server and survive restarts, making them ideal for long-term state like lifetime counters, persistent settings, or cross-flow communication.
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Value | string, number, or boolean | The current value of the specified broadcaster variable. The type depends on how the variable was defined. |
Configuration
- Variable: The name of the broadcaster variable to read.
Example
You maintain a broadcaster variable called totalBitsAllTime that tracks the total bits cheered across all streams. A data node reading this variable can be connected to a Generate Text node to display the running total in an overlay or chat response: "This channel has received (input 0) bits all time!"
