Complexity
New complexity items can be added with the 'Add new item' button. Though we recommend using the text mode (small pen in top right corner).
The complexity json object can then be edited in a source code editor (like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++) and then pasted in its entirety into the aComplexityTemplate input. With the reference inputted to the Reference Complexity.
Naming Convention
The naming convention json has to be placed in 2 inputs.
Naming Char - char
Data - data array.
Outputs
The JSON action returns all the key information about the flow in a json object. A full copy of the schema can be found here Data JSON
