With Formatter's Random Number transform, you can generate a random number that can be used in other Zap steps.
This can be useful if, for example, you need to randomly select the winner of a prize draw.
1. Add a Formatter step to your Zap
- In the Zap editor, click the Action step. A dialog box will open.
- In the search box, search for and select Formatter. The right sidebar will open to the Setup tab.
- Click the Action event dropdown menu and select Numbers.
- Click Continue.
2. Set up your transform
Next, set up the action:
- Click the Transform dropdown menu and select Random Number.
- You must select the range the step will use to select a number. You can enter a number or map data from a previous step.
- Lower range: the lowest number that can be selected.
- Upper range: the highest number that can be selected.
- Decimal points: how many decimal places to use for the resulting number.
- Click Continue.
3. Test your step
- Click Test step. If the transformation is successful, the step will return a random number. The result will change every time the step is run.
Once you’ve set your Formatter step to generate a random number, you can add other actions to use the result in your Zap.
