Real workflow

Working example

Sandbox tested

Working example: service follow-up draft. The sandbox run uses dummy text only. It shows the active node and the saved output after completion.

Manual trigger → Generate Content → End

Watch it run: Watch the node process a service request and save a reusable follow-up message.
Completed sandbox run: `service_followup` contains the generated follow-up.
Completed sandbox run: `service_followup` contains the generated follow-up.
Copy this opening message
The node reads a controlled service request, drafts a concise next-step message, and saves it to the `service_followup` workflow variable.
