Summary
In this chapter, we continued to focus on the versatile Formatter by Zapier built-in app and the extensive functionality available to format text. First, we explored how to create a superhero name, split text into segments, truncate text, remove HTML, and use a default value. Then, we covered how to extract data from text – specifically, how to extract URLs, phone numbers, numbers, and email addresses. Lastly, we briefly discussed the more advanced functions for extracting patterns, converting Markdown into HTML and vice versa, converting text into ASCII, and encoding or decoding URLs.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to use the Utilities functions within the Formatter built-in app. We will cover line item creation and customization, converting text into line items and vice versa, using lookup tables and picklists, and importing CSV files.
