It appears that Embeds cannot be created by Autiomations?  
Based on the information from the support page, it is not possible to create an embed using the Markdown API or automation. The embed feature in Fibery relies on the Iframely service, which handles the embedding of external content. However, the automation API does not have access to this feature.

Please let me know if that is still true. Is there a workaround using a script?

In order to keep users inside Fibery when doing research and viewing web resources in Fibery entities, I like external links to be included as embeds/iframes. I think this is in line with Fibery’s strategy to prevent users from having to leave Fibery in their daily workflows.

The workaround I currently use, has limitations
