How do I use a runbook Activity on an Incident and Runbook Initialize Data activity to sync and get the GUid from the Incident?

Question

I currently have a runbook running every hour to attach Incidents Templates to Problems. I would like to just add a runbook activity to the Incident Template to activate the runbook, and only link that Incident to the problem it needs to be attached to. 
I don't know how to set-up my Initialize Data activity in my runbook to load the calling Incidents GUID though. 
I'm very new to Orchestrator, so please be detailed in your directions.
The way my runbook works now is, I make my incident templates have the PR # they are for in the Alt Contact Block. My runbook searched for that, and then loads the PR# it has there and creates the relationship between the two, and then deletes that PR# so
it doesnt hit on the next search.
I would like my activity that calls the runbook to pass the Incident GUID to the runbook, so my runbook only has to query the PR# included in the incident, and create the relationship that way.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Basically, you'll receive the ID of the runbook automation activity from Service Manager, which you can then use with the Get Object and Get Relationship to get the runbook activity object, then get the incident object related to it. I realize this is confusing,
but there should be more info out there to search on as well. Hope that helps.
