Lowercase

Function: Lowercase​

This action allows you to easily convert any piece of text into its lowercase equivalent. It's useful for standardizing data, ensuring consistency, or preparing text for case-insensitive comparisons.

Input​

  • Text
    • Description: The specific piece of text you want to convert to all lowercase characters.
    • Type: Text
    • Required: Yes

Output​

  • Result Variable Name
    • Description: This output provides the name of the variable where the converted lowercase text has been stored. You can then use this variable (e.g., \{\{RESULT\}\}) in subsequent steps to access the lowercase text.
    • Type: Text
    • Default Value: RESULT (If you don't specify a variable name, the lowercase text will be stored in a variable named RESULT.)

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Lowercase" action in your applications:

Example 1: Standardizing Product Codes​

Imagine you have product codes entered by different users, sometimes in uppercase, sometimes mixed. You want to ensure all product codes are stored in lowercase for consistent searching and reporting.

  • Inputs:
    • Text: \{\{Product.SKU\}\} (e.g., "PROD-ABC-123", "prod-abc-123", "Prod-Abc-123")
  • Result: The action completes. A new variable named RESULT is created (or updated) and contains the lowercase version of the product SKU (e.g., "prod-abc-123"). You can then use \{\{RESULT\}\} to update your product record.

Example 2: Normalizing User Email Addresses​

When collecting user email addresses, you might want to convert them to lowercase to avoid issues with case sensitivity when logging in or sending notifications.

  • Inputs:
  • Result: The action completes. A new variable named RESULT is created (or updated) and contains the lowercase email address (e.g., "[email protected]"). This RESULT can then be saved to the user's profile.

Example 3: Processing Search Queries​

If your application allows users to search for items, converting their search query to lowercase before processing can help ensure that searches are case-insensitive and return more relevant results.

  • Inputs:
    • Text: \{\{SearchBox.Query\}\} (e.g., "No-Code Platform")
  • Result: The action completes. A new variable named RESULT is created (or updated) and contains the lowercase search query (e.g., "no-code platform"). This RESULT can then be used to query your database.
