Block inputs​

Blocks can receive values, including secrets, as inputs through templating. For values that the user of the block needs to set, you can use template variables (e.g. ${{ inputs.API_KEY}}). Then, the user can set API_KEY: ${{ secrets.MY_API_KEY }} in the with clause of their assistant.
