Utilize Workflow Metadata

Leverage workflow metadata to enhance logs, messages, and ticketing in automation steps using metadata syntax.

Updated over a week ago

Workflow metadata is information about the current execution available automatically in the context. Accessing information via the metadata allows for workflows to be built with fluidity and flexibility in mind. Include relevant metadata fields in steps that send out messages to users, create tickets or log entries, print messages for debugging, and more. The metadata can also be passed on to nested workflows.

To access the metadata, use: {{ $.metadata. }}
