Using the Formatter string.length I count the length of a string then use that to evaluate a condition in a path. The problem is that the output of string.length is text and not a number. (What?!) This means using “greater than” or “less than” doesn’t work.
How do I convert this text into a number so I can actually make use of it?

+14Hi
Try using a Code step with the parseInt() function.
The parseInt() function parses a string and returns an integer.
Code: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

+14I tested and was not able to replicate your issue.
I successfully took the numeric output from the Formatter > Text > Length step and used the number value in a Filter step that had conditions of greater/less than.
Perhaps post screenshots of how your Zap steps are configured.
