Shopstory's brand new formula builder - your workflows new best friend

We're excited to unveil a game-changing update to one of the core elements of our platform: the formula builder. Whether you're a power user or new to the world of automation, this enhanced feature is designed to make building flows smoother, faster, and more intuitive than ever before!

What is the Formula Builder?

At the heart of every flow, the formula builder lets you connect the dots between actions, utilities, and other elements. Imagine being able to perform calculations, modify text, or pull specific data with just a few clicks – that's the magic of the formula builder!

Past Version of the Formula Builder

And now, we've made it even better.

Why the Upgrade?

Even though the current version of the formula builder is powerful, we knew we could do more to match the way you work. We've listened to your feedback, and this rework brings more functionality, better feedback, and a seamless user experience.

What’s New? Let’s Dive In!

• Intuitive Data Selection: Start right where you need to be – within the current data source – making it easier to pick the right elements for your flow.
• Instant Feedback with Input Validation: Know immediately if your formula is spot-on or if it needs tweaking, saving you time and frustration.
• Improved Search: Find exactly what you're looking for in record time with our new and improved search functionality.
• Clear Separation of Elements: Whether you're selecting data, other flow steps, or functions (formerly known as operators), everything is now organized and easy to access.
• Effortless Calculations: Want to sum up all ad clicks? You can now apply functions to entire tables with ease!
• Simple, Familiar Operators: Use common operators like +, -, =, ≠, and more, without having to remember complex functions.
• Suffix Functions: No need to backtrack – just append functions as you go, so you can adjust on the fly!
• ‍On-Demand Help: Stuck? Our dedicated help section is right there in the formula builder to guide you step-by-step.
