AutomatorWP Formatter

Description

The Formatter add-on adds to AutomatorWP actions that transform strings, numbers, and dates inside automations, with operations for case conversion, numeric rounding, HTML removal, word extraction, and snippet replacement. It caters to those building flows with data from forms, courses, or registrations who need to normalize this content before sending it to the next step, whether a user field, a published post, or an external call.

Main Features

• Text case conversion: applies uppercase, lowercase, and capitalization to the value received by the automation.
• Numeric rounding: handles values with floor, ceil, and round before recording or forwarding the number.
• Word extraction: isolates the first, last, or nth word from a string captured in the flow.
• String replacement: swaps specific text snippets with other values defined in the action.
• Date cleaning and formatting: removes HTML, normalizes spaces, and converts dates to the chosen format.

Benefits of Formatter

• Data ready for the next step: processes the value within the flow itself without needing external code.
• Standardization across integrations: delivers content in the format expected by each connected service.
• Fewer manual steps: eliminates spot textual and numeric adjustments that were previously done outside automation.
• Greater flow reach: expands what each AutomatorWP trigger can produce as useful output.

Who is it recommended for?

• Those who already use AutomatorWP and need to process data before sending it to the next action.
• Sites with forms, member areas, and course platforms that capture raw text and numbers from users.
• Professionals who connect WordPress to external services and require normalized data on each call.

Recommended for administrators and implementers who build automations in AutomatorWP and need an intermediate step to clean, convert, and format values before proceeding in the flow.
