Count
Count
Counts the size of the given value: the number of characters of a text or the number of items of a list. Useful to find out how many records a list returned by another action holds, or to validate the length of a text.
Options
Value
Value to be counted. It can be a text, a number or the result of another action, such as a list.
Returns
Javascript code
js
actions["action-id"].value // result of counting the given value (Number)
Field selection
- value — result of counting the given value (Number)
Rules and Conditions
- The Value field is required.
- For texts, the result is the number of characters; for lists, the number of items.
- For numbers, the result is the number of characters of the written number (for example,
1234returns4). - For objects that are not lists, Yes/No values or empty values, the result is
0. - The action does not accumulate values between runs: each run returns only the count of the value given at that moment.
