  • Space Display Name Limit: The space display name must be 128 characters or fewer.
  • Dynamic Names: Use field references such as the incident title or number to generate descriptive, unique space names per incident.
  • Chaining Actions: Use the Space Name output in subsequent steps — for example, as the space identifier when adding members or sending messages to the newly created space.
