I see no way to put a path into Automator that is in my library folder. Is there any way to do this?

What automator step are you trying to put the path in?

I started automator. I saw:

The library is hidden in more recent versions of macOS 🙃.

For instructions to see the library folder, click on this link. [ I suggest point number 2 to add permanently. You must be in the home folder to add permanently. ]

now navigate to the file Inbox in the finder.

drag Inbox to automator window. I get:
