Core Plugins and tasks Return

Core Plugins and tasks Return

Certified

Return a value for debugging purposes.

Render a templated string and return it so you can quickly inspect or reuse values during a flow.

Handy for troubleshooting (the rendered value is logged) or for generating small payloads such as headers or tokens that downstream tasks expect. Combine with template filters to control whitespace or formatting before the value is passed along.
