Stringify
The Stringify action removes quotes from a string. This action also supports JSON strings. Here are just two scenarios where this action could come in useful:
- Logging or Display Purposes: Stripping quotes could be for aesthetic reasons, which is particularly useful when wanting to display data in an email or SMS where seeing extra quotes might be confusing or undesirable.
- Data Cleanup: In some cases, it may be necessary to clean or normalize string data, removing any enclosing quotes to avoid interfering with further data processing or comparisons.

Example 1 (Basic)
The example below uses the Stringify action to remove quotes from a string. The result is sent to the Sandbox chat.
{{set(name="output", value=Stringify("This is a basic test"))}}
{{SendMessage(message=output)}}
This is a basic test
Example 2 (JSON)
The example below shows the functionality of the Stringify action with a JSON value. Without the Stringify action, the result would return "DiCaprio."
{{set(
name="MyArray",
value=AppendItemsArrayJSON(
array="[]",
items=[
'{
"first_name": "Brad",
"last_name": "Pitt"
}',
'{
"first_name": "Matt",
"last_name": "Damon"
}',
'{
"first_name": "Leonardo",
"last_name": "DiCaprio"
}',
'{
"first_name": "Robert",
"last_name": "De Niro"
}'
]
)
)}}
{{set(
name="LastName",
value=Stringify(GetValueJSON(
obj='
{
"first_name": "Leonardo",
"last_name": "DiCaprio"
}',
key="last_name"
)
)
)}}
{{SendMessage(message=LastName)}}
DiCaprio
