please don't tell me that's an ugly formula and you don't do the liquid syntax
Wayne H.

I mean that's ok I guess: ["abc", "xyz", "tyz"][Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)] I can live with that

Tell me if there is something easier than this math.floor formula, for now my pain is more or less fixed

Hey Wayne sorry for the delay. Let me take a look.

Hey Wayne, looks like your spintax was properly set but happy to add or find better options depending on what your goals are.

liquid is my goal. I want to use liquid

It's ok what I have above is a decent workaround, build more useful features than that 😆

Oh, is liquid another software or tool you can use for this? or what do you mean by this?

this is liquid:

{% if customer.first_name %}
   Hi {{customer.first_name}}!
{% else %}
   Hi Buddy!
{% endif %}

Ah, so just another type of conditional format. You can still use the formula generator to achieve something like this though. Did it not work as intended? if you have an example you can point me to in your table, happy to check it out and see if there's anything we can do

[ "Hi {{first_name}} - I am contacting you because you're the " + {{lower_case_job_title}} + " at " + {{shorter_company_name}}?.response + "." , "Hi {{first_name}} - I reached out because you're the " + {{lower_case_job_title}} + " at " + {{shorter_company_name}}?.response + "." , "Hi {{first_name}} - I see you're the " + {{lower_case_job_title}} + " at " + {{shorter_company_name}}?.response + "." ][Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)] Look at this

is there something easier here?

If you're trying to use formulas for that, then that's the best option for now, since this is using Javascript and that's how the code would work I believe

You can click on the "use AI" on the formula generator if you prefer to ask the AI to write this code for you but it may result in similar outputs or having to prompt in a similar way.
