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.
