Exploring Free Actions for Conditional Text Output in Automation

is there a free action here to only output a line of text? e.g. - the action will only run if one of these states are mentioned, and if yes, then just output a single line of text. If not, then leave blank. Is claygent the only option?

Hi Matt, thanks for reaching out. Could you provide more context on what the one-liner will elaborate on? If this is a research task that involves scraping or data gathering, running Claygent conditionally based on these specific state inputs would be the most effective approach. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

Hey Bruno! So I didn't know if there was like a non-credit version of Claygent that just ran on the data that exists (and didn't cost a credit.) In this context: I have a list of leads, and I've already enriched with their locality/state. I need to notate contact owners/sales reps name that cover each of these territories. The output is just that sales rep's first and last name exactly. I set this conditional to make sure we didn't use a credit for each of these outputs, but I wasn't sure if there was a simple like "If this runs, output this text" built-in that didn't cost a credit. Claygent feels a bit overpowered for this use case.

Ah, gotcha! In this case, you’d want to use our Formula feature. This will allow you to create logic like: “If this /column contains ‘state’, then write ‘name’.” The forward slash (/) is used to link columns together. Here’s a great video on how to use it: How to Use AI Formulas. Let me know if you need more help! 😊
