Data Manipulation
Data Manipulation Wrk Actions reshape and convert data as it moves through your Wrkflow. Use them to prepare inputs for App Integrations, RPA, or AI steps, and to clean outputs before the next step.
What it is
These Wrk Actions run on Wrk's platform. They transform text, dates, files, and structured data without an external Connector or browser session.
Good for
- Reshaping data between Wrk Actions (text manipulation, JSON parsing, date math)
- Working with files (CSV join/split, PDF operations, image editing, zip extraction)
- Converting formats (CSV to JSON, HTML, base64, case conversion)
- Calculations that prepare values for later steps
- Regex extraction and replacement when you need to reshape text
What it does
- Data and text: convert formats, fuzzy-match, regex extraction/replacement, base64 encoding, case conversion
- Dates and numbers: retrieve and calculate date/time values, run calculations
- Files: read/write file content, convert CSV and JSON, compress PDFs, edit images
- Structured data: convert JSON arrays, select options from tables
