Workflow - Email Notification

I have a dataset with about a dozen fields of information, including a recipient email address that I want to run through a workflow to generate an email notfication to each recipient that includes a body summary containing the information from the other fields.

I've been using Dan Hendriksen's workflow tutorial on tagging a dataset as my example. I have successfully set up my workflow, counter, queried the dataset, got the current row as an object, and created children in the object to align to the dataset fields.

I thought the next step would be one of two things. I could maybe, if lucky, just use these object children as inputs in the email body (and recipient field) or what I assumed I would have to use "Get Text From Object" and create a text output variable for each field. However, neither worked as intended as the email just showed the variable names i.e. {{currentRow.Assignment}} or {{outAssignment}}

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how once I have my row object I map the fields in that row to variables that I can then use for the Send Email?

    I learned the answer. I was correct that it is "Get Text From Object" but instead of using the Object Child as the Property I just needed to select Custom and type the field name from the dataset for each that I wanted to map.
