Thanks a lot, @Matt_Blais, needed a few days to get back to this topic. 🫠

I’ve set this up as a CRON-style job (there is another action that connects the mail with the contact, if that exists already):

The main remaining question for me to use this is, how do I pass the `targetEntityId` into the script? I think it should exist in `[Step 1 Email Message].[Contact].[Public Id]` but I’m not sure how to pass it into the script.  
(as [mentioned elsewhere](https://community.fibery.io/t/can-i-use-js-when-creating-a-slack-message/4655/8), the whole scripting interface is unclear to me as the documentation is confusing to me)

Thanks a lot,  
Wolf
