Pluralizing words
It is sometimes handy to convert a word from a singular format into a plural format. You can change any English word so that it’s plural using the Formatter by Zapier Text action event alongside the Pluralize transform function.
Here is an example of when you can use this transform option. You might have an eCommerce store that uses the WooCommerce platform. When customers buy from you, you might want to follow up purchases with an email on a more personal level, with text formatted to read better. Let’s say your customer purchases six red T-shirts but your WooCommerce site lists the product as red t-shirt
; you could use the Pluralize transform function to change the text to red t-shirts
based on how many the customer ordered. Your email will then read better, with 6
red t-shirts
.
Next, let’s review how to set up an action step with the Pluralize transform option.
