New Capability
Update Variable, Number Transforms, and Data Trimming
Description
Workflows is excited to announce three new capabilities: Update Variable, Number Transform, and Data Trimming. Together they make it easier to evolve variable values in your workflows, handle numeric logic, and keep action output light as you scale.
Problem
Update Variable: After a variable is defined, it is hard to change its value as the workflow runs. Admins often add many extra Define Variable steps or work outside the workflow to reshape values.
Number Transform: Teams rely on external services or workarounds to do math on numeric values before they can use them in conditions, counters, or comparisons.
Data Trimming: Large action payloads slow workflows down, especially with loops, and full object output is not necessary when only part of the data is needed for the next steps.
Solution
- Update Variable Operator: Change variable values after it has been defined in the Define Variable operator. You can chain string, date, and number steps.
- Number Transform: Apply mathematical logic to convert or simplify values (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Modulo). Pick Variable A, a Variable B value, Precision, and Rounding mode (for example Round Half Up, Truncate Decimals).
- Data Trimming: Each step only keeps the data required to complete the rest of the workflow.
- Please note: To include extra fields for logging, auditing, or downstream systems, use Add Additional Data under the Additional Output Data field where it is available.
