Hello!

I’ve got a Zap connecting Docparser to Xero, the Zap uses all the data from an Invoice/Receipt that was sent to Docparser to create a Bill in Xero. There are Line-Items in my original ‘Invoice/Receipt’ and I’d like to use the first 2-words of each Line-Item as the ‘Bill Reference’ inside Xero.

 

Here’s the issue I need to solve: Sometimes the first 2 words of the various Line-Items are identical and end up repeating the same data in the ‘Bill Reference’. Is it possible to format this identical data to replace: ‘Item N, Item N, Item N, Item O’ and format it as: ‘3x Item N, Item O’?

 

Has anyone got a technique for this?

Hi @CAMVAN 

You’d likely have to use some custom Code such as JavaScript or Python to dedupe and transform the line item data.

This can be done using the Code app: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

Thank you for the response Troy, I suspected I might need to have it coded. 

 

Thanks again,
