Hey folks, 

 

I have a zap to take a podcast description from my RSS feed, strip out certain text, replace it with other text, and post to IG. For whatever reason I can’t seem to get it to function properly. 

My goal is to have the title of the show added to the post, the targeted text removed and replaced. Any thoughts as to what I’m doing wrong?

You know, when I looked back in that field I noticed a space before the description input there. Corrected that and it works a treat now. Thanks!

Hi @EarzUp 

Good question.

It may have to do with how the “Find” is formatted in related to how the text in the Description variable is formatted.

Can you post a screenshot with how the Description text is formatted?

That’s excellent news, @EarzUp! 🎉

We really appreciate you taking the time to come back here and share how you solved this. So pleased you were able to figure out what was preventing Formatter from finding a match. Nice work! 🙌
