Generating random numbers with Formatter by Zapier
Another function of Formatter by Zapier is the ability to generate a random number between a lower- and upper-value range. It also allows you to specify the number of decimal points you want the output to be presented as. If you need to do more than use the five basic mathematical operations that we just discussed, you can use complex spreadsheet-style formulas in your Zaps instead. You can do this using the Formatter by Zapier Numbers action event’s Random Number Formula transform option.
Here are a couple of examples of when you can use this transform option:
- When you want to randomly assign ID numbers to members of your team for your human resource records
- When you want to randomly generate a passcode for new users to access protected data that you want to send them
Next, let’s review how to set up the Random Number transform option.
