String Operations
Perform safe string manipulation operations. Supports extraction (substring, split, regex), transformation (uppercase, lowercase, trim, replace), checking (contains, length, starts_with, ends_with), and formatting (pad, repeat, reverse, join). All inputs and outputs are strings. Perfect for text processing without JavaScript execution.

When to use this node #
Perform safe string manipulation operations. Supports extraction (substring, split, regex), transformation (uppercase, lowercase, trim, replace), checking (contains, length, starts_with, ends_with), and formatting (pad, repeat, reverse, join). All inputs and outputs are strings. Perfect for text processing without JavaScript execution.
Add String Operations to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.
Configure the fields #
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Input Text | The text string to operate on |
| Operation | Operation to perform: Extract: substring, split, extract_number, extract_regex Transform: uppercase, lowercase, trim, replace, replace_regex Check: contains, starts_with, ends_with, length, is_empty Format: pad_start, pad_end, repeat, reverse, join |
| Pattern (optional) | For: split (delimiter), extract_regex (regex pattern), replace (find text), replace_regex (regex), contains/starts_with/ends_with (search text), pad_start/pad_end (pad character), join (delimiter). Examples: ',' for split, '(\d+)h' for extract_regex, 'hello' for replace |
| Replacement (optional) | For replace/replace_regex: The text to replace with. Example: 'world' to replace 'hello' with 'world' |
| Index (optional) | For: substring (start position), split (part index 0-N), repeat (times to repeat). Example: 0 for first character, 5 for 5th character, 3 to repeat 3 times |
| Length (optional) | For: substring (number of characters to extract), pad_start/pad_end (target length). Example: 5 to extract 5 characters, 10 to pad to length 10 |

Connect the next step #
Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.
Test it in a workflow #
- Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
- Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
- Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
- Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.
If something goes wrong #
- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
