I need the following:
- run shell command to get the string result
- need to paste this value in later steps to some window
Please help, not much documentation on this.

You can do this with AppleScript.
First action:
-- run shell script (for example get macOS version)
set theResult to do shell script "sw_vers -productVersion"
-- save to BTT variable
tell application "BetterTouchTool"
set_string_variable "SavedShellScriptResult" to theResult
end tell
Second action:
-- get the saved shell script result
tell application "BetterTouchTool"
set theResult to get_string_variable "SavedShellScriptResult"
end tell
-- set the clipboard
set the clipboard to theResult
-- paste to current application
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
Note: You can only past anything to the current window of the current application!
