I have found some questions regarding this topic, but no suitable answer, so I came up with a workaround/solution.

Using the format step from Zapier, I added a “- “ before every line, so I could use the “Replace” method inside the “Format” step to delete blank rows:

Replace

-b:space:]/:newline:]

 

With

Just leave this empty

 

Note: You need to be very specific about the spaces and newline. In my case I had two spaces so I had to do “Replace: -d:space:]l:space:]::newline:]”

 

Note 2: If at the end of the process you don’t want to have the “- “ at the beginning of each line you could add a second format step and repeat the same process by doing “Replace: -o:space:] With”

I faced similar issues and found a workaround using the Format step in Zapier. By adding a "- " before each line, I used the Replace method inside the Format step to remove blank rows:

Replace:

css
Copy code
-[:space:][:newline:]
With:

kotlin
Copy code
(Leave this empty)
Note: Be precise about spaces and newlines. I had to use "Replace: -[:space:][:space:][:newline:]".

If you don't want the "- " at the beginning of each line, add another Format step and use "Replace: -[:space:] With" to remove it.

Hope this helps!
