4. Email Data Preparation: The workflow extracts customer information such as first name, last name, email, and product purchased from the PayPal response.
5. Wait Node: A wait node is used to ensure that the payment transaction is fully processed before sending notifications.
6. Product Filtering: The workflow checks if the purchased product matches specific criteria to trigger additional actions.
7. JSON Template Retrieval: It fetches a JSON template that may contain additional information or resources related to the purchase.
8. Convert to File: The workflow converts the JSON data into a downloadable file format (JSON) and prepares it for email attachment.
