Instructions

All you have to do is fill in your error message and write "URI" in your flow beginning block in the box labeled "Fiber URI". Then you are all set!


Description

This flow allows you to put tinted red, yellow, and grey log messages that you can write yourself without all the extra junk! This means no weird numbers at the start and more viewable log messages with just 1 block! I hope you enjoy, use wherever no credit required!

How does it work?

We will use error logs as an example. So how error logs in Automate work is it checks the 20th character in the log and checks whether its an "F" (this is specific to error logs other types have different letters W for yellow and D for grey) to achieve this with only "2" characters before it I actually used zero width characters which are characters that are zero width meaning they take up no space width wise, but they still count as a character making Automate think theres 19 characters before the "F". That removes the numbers at the start but the way it adds the log also adds the blocks log on the end of this. So I just started a new line for it to append to.
