# Variables in action settings
When you set up integration of your form with other services, you can send answers or other data from the form to the service. For example, you can insert the user's answers into the body of an email or insert data into issue fields in Yandex Tracker.
To do this, use variables:
1. In the **Integration** tab of your form, [add an action](https://yandex.com.tr/support/forms/en/notifications.md#add-integration).
1. Select the field and click on the right.
1. In the list, select a variable to add to the field.
1. If using variables like **Answer to question**, **Question answer option ID** or similar, you can choose a [filter](#var-filters) for the variable values if needed.
1. Click **Save**.
When data is sent to the service, the variable is automatically converted to a value: an answer to a question, test result, or technical data.
{% note warning "" %}
When [integrating your form with Yandex Tracker](https://yandex.com.tr/support/forms/en/create-task.md), you can add the employee specified in an answer to a People question to the **Author**, **Assignee**, and **Followers** fields in Yandex Tracker. To do so, add a **Question answer option ID** variable to the field. If you use an **Answer to question** variable, integration won't work.
{% endnote %}
> For example, here's the text of an email containing all the user's answers to the form's questions.

## Filters {#var-filters}
If integration settings contain answers to questions added using variables, errors may occur if the answers do not match the format required for integration. For example, if you add an answer to a Long text question to the HTTP request body, and this answer contains line breaks, integration will not work.
To avoid data format errors, use the following filters for variables:
* **Sanitize string**: Remove special characters from the answer.
* **JSON**: Convert the answer to a JSON-compatible format.
* **base64**: Convert the answer to ASCII encoding.
## Formatting answers {#formatting-responses}
If you're using an **Answers to questions** variable in the integration settings, you can select the format of the answer list.
* **Plain text** shows the data as Question - Answer pairs.
* **Old format** shows answers as `%% Answer %%`.
* **New format** embeds answers within a code block.
* **JSON** shows answers as `"key": "value"` pairs.

To send answers to Tracker or Wiki, we recommend using the **New format** option. For more information about YFM markup, see [Wiki Help](https://yandex.com/support/wiki/wysiwyg/text-format.html).
