Use ArcGIS Arcade expressions to dynamically populate input values throughout a workflow. For example, you can use an Arcade expression to assign steps to specific users or groups based on the result of a previous step and send notification emails that contain job-specific information. You can also configure the Run GP Service step to use the JobLocation Arcade expression as an input parameter that's replaced with the extent of the job's location when the step is run. Every input value that supports Arcade expressions appears with a This input supports Arcade Expressions button 
that contains a list of expressions that can be added to its associated text box.
You can also use nested Arcade expressions to modify the output of other expressions. For example, you can use the following Text and Date functions to convert the output of the JobDueDate expression from epoch time to a more readable date format:
Text(Date(JobDueDate($Job)), 'dddd, MMMM D, Y')If you need to combine plain text and Arcade expressions, you'll need to format the text as follows:
'Plain text' + ArcadeExpression() + 'plain text'The following table contains an overview of the different categories of Arcade expressions specific to Workflow Manager:
