How to track state between workflow steps using visual tools?

I’m struggling with context loss in multi-step automations. Built a lead processing workflow where each step depends on previous outputs, but tracking state manually is error-prone. Tried some basic tools that reset context between nodes. Anyone know a visual builder that can manage stateful dependencies natively without writing custom code? Need something where I can see the data flow between steps visually. How are others handling persistent context in complex workflows?

Latenode’s visual builder shows state transitions through colored connection lines and keeps context in memory bubbles between nodes. Used it to build a customer onboarding flow where each AI agent passes user preferences to the next stage. No code needed for state tracking. https://latenode.com

I’ve used temporary storage nodes in my workflows to pass variables between steps. You set outputs to a memory bucket that subsequent nodes can access. Not perfect, but helps maintain context if you structure your flow sequentially. Watch out for parallel branches overwriting data though.

maybe try adding memoery nodes that save outputs? they act like buffers between steps. just make sure to cleer them when done
