Does anyone know how to add information about the features written to the Action Succeeded output port of the Run a Workspace-action?
This is what I tried and where I got stuck:

In my automations I like to send an email with information about the execution of the automation.
In the email I added information like time started, time finished and a link to the job summary. 

I wanted to add information about the number of features written. I found this and that works just fine: 
https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407494315789-FME-Flow-Get-the-Count-of-Features-Written-in-an-Automation

But now I have a problem: the email I send is connected to the Action Succeeded output port and the summary is on another output port.

Is there a way to combine these two output ports? The "Merge" action did not allow me to do this.
Of course I could just use the new Summary output-port instead of the Action Succeeded, because I think I can sort of assume that the action succeeded when features were written. But it doesn't feel quite right.
Another downside is that I am missing some parameters I would like in my email. The most important being time started and time finished.

There is the Merge action, https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/WebUI/Automations-Actions/Action-Merge.htm which you seem to have tested… and a more advanced Spilt-Merge https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/WebUI/Automations-Actions/Merging-Messages.htm

I’m also a fan of the Automations writer, which is used in the FMW and produces a better summary output port that you might give you want you want.  https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407765367053-Routing-Data-Between-Workspaces-in-Automations

I'm not sure yet if I can make it work with the advanced Split-Merge. But I think I will get what I want with the Automations writer. 

Thank your for the suggestions!
