When to use it

  • Inputs need cleaning before they are matched, compared or stored.

Reach for something else when

Map fields and Transform itemsWhen several fields need different changes at once.

Example

Trim and lowercase email addresses before removing duplicates.

  1. Form (starts flow)
  2. Edit text
  3. Remove duplicates

How it works

Settings
Operation: Trim whitespace [default], UPPERCASE, lowercase, Find & replace, Length; Field; Find / Replace with; Into field [text].
