Data Storage Utility Function

With the Data Storage utility, you can store and retrieve data against a user (i.e. someone interacting with Bridge via chat), a workflow run, or globally as required.

If you are looking to store simple Key Value pairs, then you would be better to use the Key Management functions. Data Storage is mainly for storing JSON Objects.

This enables use cases such as remembering users preferences or details, or tracking details across multiple users as required to make your chat bots more personal.
