It would be great to have the same features (query, lookup, single value, joined list, split text, template, etc.) available in app interactive workflows, as they are in webhook, schedule, and email workflows. That would allow us to use these computed actions without having to add columns everywhere just for specifics workflows. ---

Very useful. Currently I use an app interaction to trigger a webhook when I need this functionality, which makes things much harder to maintain and uses many updates. Having these actions within an app interaction workflow simplifies the maintenance overhead significantly. ---

Would the new Manual trigger do what you want? ---

Yep! I feel like the new manual trigger workflow is like the V2 of app interactive. ---

> Would the new Manual trigger do what your want? Are you referring to the small “Run” button? If so, this can’t be tied to an app interaction and does not solve the problem. ---

If the vision is to replace completely app interaction with the new manual trigger, then yes, it is the solution!
