How to: randomly select one item from list

[mearleycf]

What I'm hoping to do is to set up a list of strings, say 5 strings for starters. Then be able to automate an action that selects, randomly, one string from the list and performs an action on it--say, send a text to a specific recipient.
It seems like this would be possible, but I'm hoping someone could guide me on the specifics of making it happen?

I would recommend asking in https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/ instead. You are more likely to get a good answer there.
