Questions about this workflow
What does the lookup need?
The Cloudinary action requires a contextual metadata key and value. Supply the key and value or a reliable rule for deriving them.
Does this add a tag or metadata to the submission?
No. It retrieves Cloudinary resources with the specified context and does not update Canvas or Cloudinary metadata.
