Options within the action

Build string

Allows the combination of straight text with Insert reference fields from within the workflow and site at runtime.

Parse for tokens twice

When this option is selected, tokens will be searched for twice. For example, if a token called {WorkflowVariable:EmailTemplate} is inserted into the text area, and the resulting value contains the text {ItemProperty:Title}, the title token will also be replaced when this option is selected.

Store result in

The result of the string that is built at runtime will be stored in a text Workflow variable that is selected from this list.
