Guide

1. Make sure the Start block is using the 'triggered' run mode.
2. Add an Update Blend block directly under the Start block.
3. Configure the Update Blend block to include the {url} placeholder in the description of the blend. On execution of the blend, this placeholder will be resolved to the blend's trigger URL. More information about placeholders can be found here: https://help.blendr.io/docs/using-formulas-in-placeholders

When working with templates, it is advised to add the Update Blend block beneath a Setup block.
