Node Functionality

This node allows you to transform data from one form into another, which is commonly known as casting. For example, you can take text data and convert it into a list, or take a list of items and blend it into a single string of text.

​

When To Use

Use the Cast Type node when you need to modify the format of your data to meet the requirements of different steps in your automation process. For instance:

• If you have information in a list and you need it to be a single block of text, or vice versa.
• When you need to prepare data for a process that only accepts a specific type of format.
• If you have to clean up data by splitting a single large text into individually separated items.

This node helps ensure data compatibility and prepares it to interact efficiently with other parts of the automated workflow.
