Extracting Nested Values from hd_insights Output for Analysis

Willy H. · 2025-12-10T03:00:47.096Z

How do I get the two values that are nested in the hd_insights output to a cell as a comma separated value? I want to be able to run an anthropic model to write an email based on what it finds or do an analysis.

Use Extract Values from Data to get your product names as comma-separated values: [1]
1.
Add a new column and select "Extract Values from Data"
2.
Input your HG Insights column as the data source
3.
Set extraction type to extract product names
4.
This will create a list of the product names
For comma-separated format, use the regex pattern [^,"]+"?[^,"]+ to split the values properly. [2]
Once extracted, you can feed this comma-separated list directly into your Anthropic model for email writing or analysis. [3]

Okay, yes, but there are 2 providers in this waterfall. How do I make sure we account for all of them?

To capture data from all providers in your waterfall, use "Extract Values from Data" on each provider column separately, then combine them.
Option 1: Extract from each HG Insights column individually, then use a Formula to merge the results into one comma-separated list. [1]
Option 2: Use AI Formula on the combined data - prompt it to "extract all product names from both providers as a comma-separated list, removing duplicates."
This ensures you get complete coverage from your entire waterfall setup.

Perfect setup! You've correctly selected both waterfall columns as data sources and set it to Custom extraction with regex. [1]
That regex pattern will extract the product names from both providers and combine them into your comma-separated list. [2] Run it and you'll get all products from your entire waterfall in one cell, ready for your Anthropic model.

I want all items

Change the dropdown from "first item" to "all items" or use "Joined Matches" instead. [1] This will extract all products from both waterfall providers as a comma-separated list rather than just the first match.
