# Generate UUID

> Create a random version 4 UUID.

The **Generate UUID** action creates a new random UUID v4 each time it runs.
Use the result as a correlation ID, idempotency key, temporary record ID, or
other workflow-scoped identifier.

## Outputs

| Output   | Type   | Description                                |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **UUID** | String | A newly generated UUID in standard format. |

An output looks like:

```text theme={null}
3f2504e0-4f89-4d3a-9a0c-0305e82c3301
```

<Note>
  The action produces a different value on every run. Store the output if later
  workflow steps or future runs need to reuse the same identifier.
