Internal variables are predefined by NiceLabel Automation. Their values are assigned automatically and are available in read-only mode. The icon with lock symbol in front of the variable name distinguishes internal variables from user-defined variables. You can use internal variables in your actions in the same way as you would use the user-defined variables. The trigger related internal variables work as internal variables for each trigger.
