Variables in depth
Every control and text of Webhooks > Variables and the variable editor.
Every control and text this screen shows, in screen order. The list is read from the demo by a crawl, and CI fails when the screen changes without its entry here.
Webhooks > Variables holds the values templates read as {{ vars.name }}.
