The Format Data Block allows you to convert and format various types of data, such as phone numbers, currencies, text to numbers, and list lengths.

Format Data Block - Available Options

1. Phone Number

The Phone Number option enables you to convert a phone number from one format to another. First, use the data selector to choose a phone number field from the available data. The phone number must be in a format recognized by the block. Then, select the desired output format from the "To Format" dropdown.

The available phone number formats are:

1. +CNNNNNNNNNN (E164): Example: +14445556666
2. +C-NNN-NNN-NNNN (RFC3966): Example: +1-444-555-6666
3. +C NNN-NNN-NNNN: Example: +1 444-555-6666
4. (NNN) NNN-NNNN: Example: (444) 555-6666
5. NNN.NNN.NNNN: Example: 444.555.6666
6. (NNN) NNN-NNNN x NNNN: Example: (444) 555-6666 x 1234

Example input:

{
  "phone_number": "+14445556666"
}

Example output:

{
  "formatted": "+1-444-555-6666"
}

2. Currency

The Currency option allows you to reformat a cost, total, tax, or any money-related number to a different currency. You can choose from the following currency locales, which apply appropriate formatting, such as the pound sign for British pounds or a comma instead of a period for pesos:

1. English (United States): en_US
2. Spanish (United States): es_US
3. English (United Kingdom): en_GB
4. Chinese (Simplified): zh_CN
5. Spanish (Spain): es_ES
6. German (Germany): de_DE
7. French (France): fr_FR
8. Russian (Russia): ru_RU

You can also choose from various currency letter prefixes, but be careful not to mismatch them improperly. The list of currency letter prefixes is available here.

Warning: Mismatching currency locales and letter prefixes may result in incorrect formatting.

Example input:

{
  "amount": 120.50,
  "currency_code": "RUB"
}

Example output:

{
  "formatted": "120,50 ₽"
}

3. Text to Number

Text to Number allows you to select a string containing a number and convert it to an integer. Use the data selector to choose a field containing a number in text format. The output will be an integer.

Example output:

{
  "formatted": 10001
}

4. List Length

List Length calculates the length of a list. Instead of using the "Value" field like most options, this option has a "List to count length" field. Use the data selector to choose an array from the available data.

Example output:

{
  "listLength": 4
}
