# Combine text

> Combine and format text from multiple sources into a single output using variables and static text.

Combine and format text from multiple sources into a single output. Unlike [Generate Text](/reference/actions/generate-text), this action does not use AI — it simply concatenates the values you provide, making it fast and deterministic.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the action">
    In the Workflow builder, click **+** between blocks and select **Combine Text** from the action library.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Define the output text">
    In the **Output Text** field, mix static text with variables from previous steps. Use **#** to [insert variables](/guides/prompt-engineering#workflow-prompts).
