Scenario
Copy (CMD + c) the JSON block provided below and paste (CMD + v) it onto the storyboard (these are action tiles and will auto-populate!). Run them and see how Automatic Mode outputs results within the Events panel:
Fruit Example: Using Automatic Mode, we loop through an array of fruits to insert each array value into a message.
Email Example: Using Automatic Mode, we extract the URLs presented within an email body.
