HTML
Pick content out of HTML by CSS selector, strip tags, or list links.
Do things in HTML
Add an HTML step and choose an Operation. Choose the row to see the fields of each.
Later steps read a step’s output by its name: see Use data from earlier steps.
Not in your list? See When an app isn’t here.
For developers
In the API, which calls apps pieces, HTML is pieceId: "html" with actionId: "process", set by operation. Get an app returns every field.
It computes from its inputs only (pure). See How versions and side effects work.
