    Links and Show Notes

    Magic Variables solve a major problem that we identified in episode 23. Namely, the need to constantly "get details of" and then store the result in a variable over and over until you have all the properties you need.

    Magic Variables reduce this to one button in a Workflow now. You're going to want to use these!
