Demonstrates using Automate deep links in a Dialog Web block (or a browser) to interact with a running Automate flow. A URI authority that's unique to the flow is automatically generated which prevents broadcasts sent by other Automate flows from being intercepted by this one. The payload from the web app is converted to JSON to send to the flow, and URI encoded so that special characters in the message (such as quotes) are handled correctly.
Henrik the Automate developer notes that this is an unofficial feature which may break at any time.
