Hey everyone! I was wondering if it is possible to add custom text together with variables using the Send Email function. For example “Hello %customer\_name, your order id %order\_id is on the way”. Is it possible to mix variables and custom text? I’ve searched the documentation and found no way to do it yet. ---

Yes, you can use a template column to built out your email with variables that can be replaced. Then use that template in your Send Email action.
