Locally transmitted data
Stonly allows you to dynamically modify content and adapt it to the current reader based on data.
One way of defining this data is by transmitting it to local variables. You can do it through:
Widget code, if you're displaying Stonly content on your website.
URL parameters, for standalone and knowledge base guides.
Contents of input fields.
User's choices inside a guide, using data transmission.
Local variables can be used inside guide variables, conditional choices, and automations.
Local data format
Local variables are created following the key: value format. For example:
name: 'Jane'age: 32premium_account: true
Local data exists only temporarily in the browser's storage, unlike stored data which is saved in Stonly permanently and attached to individual users.
Data types
We support following data types for local variables:
Text strings
Numbers
Dates
Boolean values
