Welcome to the forum @Shyama_Gupta

Insert a Change node before the display node, configured to Set msg.payload To the flow variable

You can feed the change node from an Inject node set to repeat at the interval you want.

Alternatively, why don't you just feed the value you are sending the flow variable direct to the text node?
