Text Concatenation Step

The Text Concatenation step takes several values and variables and puts them together into one text string. You can use it to build custom messages, file paths, or data entries from different bits of information in your process.

How to Use the Text Concatenation Step

Use this step to make one string variable from different inputs.

Step 1: Add the Text Concatenation Step

Drag the Text Concatenation Step into your process workflow.
(Optional) Give it a Step Name so you can find it in your process.

Step 2: Say What Text to Combine

In the Text to concatenate field, type the text you want to put together.
To add variables:
- Pick a variable from the Append variable menu. This menu shows all local and global variables you can use in your process.
- Click the Add variable button to put the chosen variable into the Text to concatenate field.
- You can mix regular text and variables here.

Example: If you want to combine "Hello, " with a variable called UserName and "!", your Text to concatenate field might look like this: Hello, {UserName}!

Step 3: Save the Result

In the Concatenated text field, pick an existing string variable or make a new one.
The combined text will be saved into this variable.
