The Automation Context
Every automation execution has a shared context — a data object that steps read from and write to as the pipeline runs. When a trigger fires, the context is initialized with the trigger data. Each step can add to or modify the context, and subsequent steps see the updated data. Think of it as a growing data bag that accumulates information as it passes through each step.Context Field Paths
Field mappings and variable interpolation use dot-notation paths to reference data in the context. Here is every field path available:Trigger Data
Available from the moment the automation starts.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
trigger.* | Raw fields from the trigger payload. For webhooks, these match the JSON keys in the POST body. For call events, these include call_id, call_type, call_status, contact_name, phone_user, actual_time. |
{ "phone": "+61400111222", "name": "John" }, the fields are trigger.phone and trigger.name.
Contact
Available after an Upsert Contact step runs, or automatically hydrated for Call Completed and Call Scheduled triggers.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
contact.id | Contact UUID |
contact.phone_number | Phone number in E.164 format |
contact.first_name | First name |
contact.last_name | Last name |
contact.full_name | Full name (first + last) |
contact.email | Email address |
contact.address | Street address |
contact.location | City / region / country |
Objects
Available after an Upsert Object step runs, or automatically hydrated for call event triggers.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
objects.{type_name}.* | Data fields of the linked object, keyed by object type name |
objects.monday_item.CRM_ID— The Monday.com item IDobjects.monday_item.board_id— The Monday.com board IDobjects.hubspot_deal.deal_id— A HubSpot deal ID
Source Data
Available after a Source step runs.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
source.* | Fields from the API response |
source.notes, source.deal_stage, source.priority
Mapped Data
Available after a Transform step runs.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
mapped.* | Fields output by the transform step |
Call Record
Available in post-call steps (steps after a Create Call step) and in Call Completed / Call Scheduled trigger automations.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
call.id | Call UUID |
call.script_id | Script used for the call |
call.status | Outcome: completed, failed, voicemail, dropout, hang-up, rang-out, User unavailable, User rejected, cancelled |
call.duration | Call duration in seconds |
call.actual_time | When the call took place |
call.call_summary | AI-generated narrative summary |
call.transcript | Full transcript as plain text |
call.transcript_json | Structured transcript with speaker turns |
call.structured_data | AI-extracted structured fields (per your Script’s data collection schema) |
call.objectives | Objective evaluation results (JSON) |
call.success_evaluation | Overall success evaluation |
call.end_reason | Why the call ended: user hangup, ai hangup, voicemail, failed |
call.notes | Agent-generated call notes |
Destination Results
Available after Destination steps run.| Path | Description |
|---|---|
results[].status | HTTP status or success indicator from the destination |
results[].response | Response data from the destination |
Using Field Paths in Mappings
Field mappings appear in Transform, Upsert Contact, Upsert Object, and Destination steps. Each mapping has a source (where to read data) and a target (where to write it). Example — Transform step mapping webhook data to contact fields:| Source | Target | Transform |
|---|---|---|
trigger.phone | contact.phone_number | |
trigger.first_name | contact.first_name | |
trigger.last_name | contact.last_name | uppercase |
Available Transforms
| Transform | What It Does |
|---|---|
uppercase | Convert text to UPPERCASE |
lowercase | Convert text to lowercase |
truncate:N | Truncate text to N characters (e.g., truncate:100) |
date:FORMAT | Format a date string (e.g., date:YYYY-MM-DD) |
to_string | Convert a number or boolean to a string |
to_number | Convert a string to a number |
Variable Interpolation in Templates
Email templates, SMS templates, webhook body templates, and URL fields support{{variable}} interpolation. Use the same dot-notation paths:
Email subject:
Sample Payloads and the Field Picker
For webhook-triggered automations, the field picker in the pipeline editor uses a sample payload to show you whichtrigger.* fields are available.
To set a sample payload:
- Open the automation editor
- Click Test Webhook in the trigger panel
- Send a POST request to the webhook URL with representative data
- When the payload arrives, click Use as Sample
