Chained automations that depend on outputs from earlier steps currently require passing the full accumulated payload forward, which makes the payload grow exponentially and hits the payload limit.
  • add a better context-passing mechanism so downstream automations can reuse variables from prior steps without embedding full outputs (e.g., references to prior step outputs, a shared execution context/lightweight variable store scoped) to the automation run, and/or the ability to selectively pass only specific fields.
  • Increasing the max payload size AND
  • reusable upstream context without payload bloat.
