Variable Operation

Built-in operations for variable modification.

There are six types of variables:

Type	Storage	Example	Operation
Text	letters, words, sentences...	Hi, PrimeChat.	cutting, change case, encode, decode...
Number	number	123.45	+ - x ÷, mod, power, log, root, round...
Boolean	either "yes" or "no"	yes	assign
Date	date	2021-03-30	format, add months/weeks/days
DateTime	date and time	2021-03-30 16:52:00	format, add months/weeks/days/hours/minutes
JSON	a series of variables	{"name":"jack", "age":"10"}	load, get, update, remove, count, sum, average, sort, shuffle, reverse...

Click "Basic Actions" in the Action step, and here are the "Set Variable Value" and "Clear Variable Value".

Clear Custom Field / Clear JSON

To clear text, number, boolean, date, datetime variables, please use the Clear Custom Field action.

To clear JSON variable, please use the Remove All Items operation in the JSON Operation.

Input Value

"input value" operation is used to assign value to a variable. This operation works for any variable type.

"input value" for text variables can be used to connect several text variables. See the picture below for where to put the original value and the operated value.

Math Formula

With this operation, you can now do formula calculation directly in the Action Step - "Set Variable Value" and Condition Step - "Value".

Math operations and function supported:

+, -, *, e, pi, PI, abs(), min(), max(), ceil(), floor(), log(), pow(), round(), sqrt(), sin(), cos(), tan()

If the formula is invalid, the system will return 0 to the number variable and empty to the text variable.
