The Open Modal Action is used to open a Web Flow as a modal. When a Web flow is opened as a modal, the user must finish the modal Flow before returning to the screen that opened it. This is useful for creating confirmation screens, or for creating a flow where the user can fill out information and then easily return to where they were in the app.

The Web Flow that will be used as a modal. Web Flows can be created and managed from Web Flows Builder.
If the selected Web Flow has Variables, these fields specify their initial values. This makes it possible to send custom data to the opened modal.
The only Variables that can be set by the Open Modal Action are ones at the Activity Group scope level.
