↑ Module 3 Overview"When you're adding, subtracting, splitting, or concatenating inputs, the manipulation of both numbers and text is a critical piece of building an automation." Okta groups these under two function categories.
The basics: Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide. Beyond those, more complex functions include Round, Remainder, and Factorial.
Find — searches inside text for a substring. Returns the position where the text was found, or -1 if it wasn't found at all.
Text Segment — extracts a specific portion of text by start and end location: a word, a character, or a run of characters.
Compose — builds a message and lets you drag inputs directly into it; supports both HTML and Markdown. Functionally similar to Concatenate.
"Split text into a list of text segments separated by a comma or another specified delimiter." Input text (String, required) is the value to convert; separator (String, optional) is the delimiter — a single character, a sequence of characters, or a line break. Output is a result list (List of Text).
Per the docs: if items are comma-separated with spaces (e.g. This, is, an, example), include a space after the comma in your separator value — otherwise the resulting list items will have stray leading spaces. If spacing is inconsistent, run the result through the Trim function to clean it up.
