I have custom field outputs from my trigger that I need to separate by comas and use each value later in the workflow. Text to line-item and split text work similarly, but when I use the pill in a later step it merges all values back together. See screenshots where the first was the output directly from the action test, and the second is the output from the pill. 

My workaround fix is to use text to line-item, then use the output of that in split text, then use that output in line-item to text. However I need to do line-item to text for each value which ends up using a lot of actions and I will end up reaching usage limitations.

I have also tried custom pill mapping but have not found luck.

There has to be a more efficient way to split text by comas and use the output.

Hi ​@swesolowski 

NOTE: Formatter steps count as 0 Tasks in Zap Runs.

 

Can you post screenshots showing how the DATA OUT returned from Zap step 1 so we can see the original structure of the data points you are trying to use?

 

OPTIONS

  • Formatter > Text > Split
    • Segment Index: All (as Separate Fields)
    • This will return individual variables to map
  • Formatter > Utilities > Text to Line Items
    • This converts a text string to an array of line items
    • This will NOT return individual variables to map
  • AI > Analyze and Return Data
    • You define the inputs, prompt, outputs
    • This will return individual variables to map
