Hi All, I’m building an app that uses a lot of Ai and if/then conditions in the Actions editor. Each outcome has a fairly lengthy series of steps (in the chain) and I’m finding myself building the same chain over and over (because the Ai prompts are the only variable) and it’s very time-consuming. Is there a way to copy/paste or save and use and reuse an action section (like a grouping function) or am I stuck building over and over  
Cheers 😉

If you can have a series of conditions to identify each “chain”, probably:

- Create all steps that should be copied in a combo action.
- Duplicate the action.
- Add the condition for each action and add the steps that are differed from each other.
