The flow has the following steps.

Set the text

The Text – Compose card sets the text to format.

Split the text

The List – Split card splits the text into a list. Each word from the text becomes a list item.

[
  "OKTA",
  "WORKFLOWS",
  "allows",
  "to",
  "automate",
  "identity",
  "processes!"
]

Format each word

The List – Map card uses a helper flow to format each word from the list. The card returns a new list with all the words in the correct format.
