Channel cache is a simple key-value pair database associated with the channel. It can be used to store configuration parameters that change or modify the behavior of the channel or values that are set or retrieved while processing messages through the channel (e.g., date/time of last message sent).
Values can be added, updated and deleted from channel node scripts. Values can also be manually added or deleted through the Channel Cache tab shown here.
Channel cache values are exported and imported with the channel. On import, if the channel cache already exists in a channel the value won’t be overwritten.
The channel cache is not thread-safe. It is designed for static configuration values. For frequently updated data, please use an external database to ensure data consistency and avoid performance issues.
