Hi @João Andrade 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community!

To ensure I understand, could you elaborate more on the issue? If you can phrase it in the “When A happens in Service X, B should happen in Service Y” format, that’ll help me make sure I give you the best suggestion possible.

I want to ensure we’re on the same page so I can point you in the right direction.

Looking forward to your response!

João Andrade

Sure!

 

When a number has 13 characters, it will delete the 5th caracther.

 

Input: 5514925563223

Output: 551425563223

Hey there @João Andrade,

I’m jumping here to see if I can help!

I did some digging into this, and it seems like we can use Code by Zapier (Run Javascript) to achieve this workflow:

Here’s the code that you can try:

// Assuming your input is in the input field named "input_number"

var input_number = inputData.input_number;

var output_number = input_number.slice(0, 4) + input_number.slice(5);

// The result will be in the output field named "output_number"

return {output_number: output_number};
 

Here’s that in action:

Hopefully, this helps! 😊
