Join Text Collection
Overview
This action combines multiple text values from a collection into a single text string. You can specify a delimiter to separate the values and options for enclosing and escaping special characters.
How it Helps
Imagine you have a collection of product names gathered from a multi-select picklist and want to display them in a single sentence. This action lets you easily join those names with a comma and a space, creating a user-friendly output like "You selected: Apples, Bananas, and Oranges."
When to Use It
This action is ideal for:
Creating comma-separated lists or formatted strings from text collections.
Displaying multiple values in a user-friendly way.
Preparing data for use in other flow elements or integrations.
Avoiding manual string manipulation with formulas or code.
Example
To display a list of selected hobbies:
Create a Text Collection: Have a Text Collection variable storing a list of hobbies selected by a user.
Configure the Action: Select the hobby collection, use a comma (",") as the delimiter, and optionally add a space (" ") after the comma for better readability.
Display the Text: Use the output of the action to display the formatted list of hobbies in a text component.
Key Considerations
Source Collection: Ensure you have a valid collection of text values.
Delimiter: Choose a delimiter to separate the joined values (e.g., comma, space, newline).
Enclosure: Optionally enclose each value in characters like quotes (").
Escape Characters: Specify an escape character to handle special characters within the values
