Hi, i tried to find out with the Zapier Formatter app how to append a text string to an existing text string but couldn't find if it’s possible. I do not want to replace text but to append text, thanks.

Hi @Patrick.emin 

Try this…

You can map a dynamic value to a static value as such:

“static value” [dynamic value]

 

You can map a dynamic value to a dynamic value as such:

[dynamic value] [dynamic value]

Thanks, I see, that should be simple. This is outside the scope on my original question but linked, in case you know Asana, it does not seem possible to extract the name of an Asana task creator (not the assignee)in Zapier? (my purpose)

@Patrick.emin

You may have to use a Asana Search step in the Zap.

The Task “should” return info about the Task Creator (possibly an internal ID of the User).
