How to Use Sensitive Placeholders in Embed Workflow

Typically, you use {{ name }} to insert a placeholder. For sensitive data, use {% token %} instead.

Dynamic placeholders power our workflows. Sometimes, the workflow creator sets the values for these placeholders, so displaying the values is expected. However, some placeholders are sensitive information like passwords and tokens. These must remain private!

Typical placeholder: {{ name }}

Sensitive placeholder: {% token %}
