# Save Variable Value Block

The **Save Variable Value Block** is used to store data during a conversation. Unlike message blocks, this block does not send any message to the user. Instead, it manages and stores information behind the scenes, making your automation more intelligent and data-driven.

#### How to Use the Save Variable Value Block

1. Open your **Chat Flow**.
2. Click **Add Node**.
3. Go to **Native Tools**.
4. Select **Save Variable Value**.

#### Configure the Block

**1. Select Field**\
Choose where you want to store the value. You can select either:

* **Super Field (Custom Field)**
* **Bot Field**

**Super Fields (Custom Fields)**\
These are **permanent fields** stored in the user's profile. They can be used to save information such as:

* Lead source
* User budget
* Selected plan
* Email address
* Chat name

**Bot Fields (B Fields)**\
These are **temporary fields** that exist only during the current session or flow. They are commonly used for:

* Temporary values
* Step counters
* Calculated discounts
* Intermediate data used during automation

Once the session ends, **Bot Field values may reset**.

**2. Text Source**\
This defines what data should be stored in the selected field.

For example:

* If the user typed a response, choose **Last Text Input**.
* If the user clicked a button option, choose **Last Button Title**.

This ensures the correct user input is captured and stored.

#### Save the Configuration

After selecting the field and the data source, click **Save**.

The **Save Variable Value Block** helps store important user information during conversations, enabling smarter automation and personalized interactions.
