Changing process variables after deploy

[Anton1922]

Hi!
I use
camunda/zeebe 8.2.11
zeebe-node 8.0.1

I'm new to using zeebe and zeebe-node. I read the documentation but didn't find a solutions for my questions.

1. Can I set variables, that will be available to the whole process, using method deployProcess ?
2. Can I change the values of the variables for the process after deploy? I found the setVariables method, but as I understand it, this method sets variables for a specific process instance by its id. Or am I wrong?

I will be glad for help!

Best regards,
Anton Fedorov

Hi @Anton1922

deployProcess is to deploy a process model. Variables are state in a process instance.

createProcessInstance is how you create an instance of a model (a "process instance"), and you can set initial variables in that call.
