Split long text (2000) → For each Piece → Send message.
What it does
Cut a long text into pieces that fit a message, an embed or a field, at paragraphs, then lines, then words. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: cut a long text into pieces that fit a message, an embed or a field, at paragraphs, then lines, then words.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
