Run counter & shared config

Global Key/Value keeps a counter across EVERY run of every workflow (Test twice and watch it climb), while Set Variable seeds run-local $vars downstream nodes can read with {{ $vars.… }}.

What’s inside

4 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Job start	Inject	`input.inject`
Bump run counter	Global Key / Value	`storage.global-key-value`
Set $vars	Set Variable	`utility.set-variable`
Run banner	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/run-counter-shared-config.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Run counter & shared config"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
