Conditional value in Zapier

Question

I am using Zapier to write an email based on a field.

I have a field that has two values "ig" and "fb". I'd like to replace them respectively by "Instagram" and "Facebook".

David here, from the Zapier Platform team.

There are two main ways to do that:

1. You can write a simple code block that, given ig or fb as input, return the full value you want to use
2. If you're not comfortable writing code, you can instead use a "Lookup Table" in "Formatter by Zapier", which produces a similar result. There's a step-by-step for that here: https://zapier.com/apps/formatter/help#using-the-lookup-table

Lookup table basic example. This is the same basic functionality as a lookup table

// inputData is set up in the UI

const table = {
  ig: 'Instagram',
  fb: 'Facebook'
}

return {result: table[inputData.someFieldName] || 'Default Value'}
