Actions
Repeat with Each

If
Tests if a condition is true, and if so, runs the actions inside. Otherwise, the actions under “Otherwise” are run.

Get Contents of Web Page

Get Group from Matched Text
Gets the text that matched a particular capture group or all of the capture groups from the output of a Match Text action.
Get Text from Input

For example, this action can get the name of a photo or song, or the text of a web page.
