This only affects the avatar and it's tag name in the chat bubble.

For example:, it(userVariables) won't be passed to backend for processing.

Location key value
inputs name NAME

userVariables name N/A
systemVariables user_id banana

Hi dear Dev @crazywoola I need a help after Dify v 1.6.0 The change for systemVariables by adding authentication method made me NOT update to Dify latetst version because up to Dify 1.6.0 I just simply add a value for user_id in the system variable of iframe , I used this to make my chat bot to underestand if the my wordpress usser is logged in or not and if yes the chat bot via HTTP request can get its name and etc Now I Dont know how the new version of Dify works for this subject

I used a PHP for the iframe to automatically replace current user ID of wordpress in the value of user_id of iframe now this method do not work
Can i make the new dify to act like before or if the new method can be work can you explain

I would reallly really appreciate if you help me love crazywoola

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Aug 11, 2025):

User variables like name passed via iFrame embedding in Dify are only used for frontend customization—such as displaying the user's name or avatar in the chat UI. They are not sent to or stored in the backend, so you won't see them in the Orchestrate interface or app backend. This is intentional and not a bug; only system variables (like sys.user_id) are available in the backend by default see details.

If you want a user variable (like name) to be visible or accessible in the backend or Orchestrate, you need to explicitly define it as a prompt/input variable in your app's configuration (user_input_form). Once defined, it will show up in the backend and can be used in workflows and logs code reference.

Let me know if you need steps or an example for configuring this!
