The **Beautify action** takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **{"name":"Alice","age":30,"email":"<alice@example.com>"};json**) and formats the given content based on its type (XML or JSON). The beautified output is stored in the **{Beautified}** variable, and the action status is saved in the **{Status}** variable with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the content is beautified successfully
* **False** – if the content is not beautified&#x20;
