Constant Value Generator – Generate Constant Value
Summary (SEO Meta Description):
The Constant Value Generator in WeHub produces static values for use in workflows.
Configure constants like GUIDs, strings, numbers, booleans, or timestamps for downstream plugins.
Overview
The Constant Value Generator provides a simple way to insert fixed or auto-generated values into a workflow.
It supports common data types such as GUID, STRING, NUMBER, BOOL, and CURRENT_TIME.
This action is useful for setting default values, generating identifiers, or adding static configuration to workflows.
⚙️ Configuration Options
| Field | Type | Description |

| Label | String | Custom name for the node (e.g., "Generate Patient ID"). |
| Name | String | Key under which the value will be stored in the workflow context. |
| Type | Enum | Data type of the constant: GUID, STRING, NUMBER, BOOL, CURRENT_TIME. |
| Value | Any | The constant value (if required for the selected type). |
💡 Example Use Cases
- Generate a GUID as a unique workflow identifier.
- Insert a STRING value like
"Production"for environment tagging. - Provide default NUMBER or BOOL values to control logic.
- Capture CURRENT_TIME for timestamps or logging.

Q: What format does CURRENT_TIME return?
A: An ISO 8601 timestamp (e.g., 2025-09-23T12:16:41Z).
Q: Can I define multiple constants at once?
