What is the replace formula?
The replace function substitutes all occurrences of a specified string or character with a new value. You can use it on message body, context, or the result of another formula.
How does it work?
Each example below is structured in three clear steps:
- Input – The data or context you start with
- Formula – The replace expression you use
- Result – The output you get
Examples
Example 1: Replace a word in the message body
Input:
nodinite
Formula:
replace('nodinite','most innovative product',body)
Result:
most innovative product
Replaces 'nodinite' with 'most innovative product' in the message body
Example 2: Replace a word in a context value
Input:
nodinite
Formula:
replace('nodinite','most innovative company',context('id'))
Result:
most innovative company
Replaces 'nodinite' with 'most innovative company' in the context value
Example 3: Replace a word in a nested formula result
Input:
[ { "name": "Amazing Function" }, { "name": "Amazing Implementation" } ]
Formula:
replace('Amazing','Cool',jsonpath('$..name',body))
Result:
Cool Function, Cool Implementation
Replaces 'Amazing' with 'Cool' in all names returned by the jsonpath function
Usage Tips
- Use with any Content that returns text
- Works with jsonpath, xpath, or other formula functions
