Global Variables

Global Variables let you define a value once — your support phone, address, brand color, a logo URL — and reuse it across your whole site. Update it in one place and it changes everywhere it’s used.

Adding a variable

1. Click Add Variable to add a blank row.
2. Enter a Key and a Value.
3. Save with the floating Save Variables bar.

Column	Rules
Key	Required. snake_case only (lowercase letters, numbers, underscores). Must be unique.
Value	Any text. Genesis shows a live swatch for colors and a thumbnail for images.

Value types

Genesis automatically detects the type of each value and shows a small badge so you can scan the list at a glance:

Badge	Type
T	Text
↗	URL
@	Email
☏	Phone
▦	Image
●	Color

Using a variable

Once saved, reference a variable anywhere on your site with:

globalVariable('your_key')

You can also ask the AI builder to use one — for example, “use the global variable support_email in the footer”.

Tip

Global Variables are perfect for details that appear in many places — contact info, social links, your brand’s primary color — so you never have to hunt them down to make one change.
