Combine Text

This component in Nappai’s automation dashboard lets you combine two separate text strings into a single, longer text string. Think of it like joining two sentences together. You can control how they are joined using a separator, like a space, a comma, or any other text you choose.

Relationship with Nappai’s Automation System

This component is a fundamental building block within Nappai’s automation system. It allows you to manipulate text data, which is crucial for many automation tasks, such as creating customized messages, reports, or file names.

Inputs

First Text: The first piece of text you want to combine. You can type directly into this box.
Second Text: The second piece of text you want to combine. You can also type directly into this box.
Delimiter: This is the text that will go between the “First Text” and “Second Text”. By default, it’s a single space, but you can change it to anything you like (e.g., a comma, a hyphen, a newline character).

Outputs

The component produces a single output:

Combined Text: This is the new text string created by joining the “First Text” and “Second Text” inputs using the “Delimiter” you specified. This output can then be used by other components in your Nappai workflow. For example, you could use this combined text to create an email, populate a database field, or generate a report.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to create a personalized greeting.

First Text: “Hello,”
Second Text: “[User’s Name]”
Delimiter: ” ” (a space)

The output “Combined Text” would be: “Hello, [User’s Name]”. You could then use this output to personalize an email or other message.

Templates

This component is used in the “Reasoning Prompts” template.

Many components in Nappai can work with the output of the “Combine Text” component. Here are a few examples:

Google Generative AI Embeddings: Use the combined text as input to generate embeddings for further AI processing.
Explain SQL results: Use the combined text to provide context for SQL query explanations.
Email Senders (e.g., SendGrid, Gmail Sender): Use the combined text as the body of an email.
File Writers (e.g., Docx Writer, PDF Writer): Use the combined text as content for a document.

Tips and Best Practices

Use meaningful delimiters to make the combined text easy to understand.
Test your delimiter choice to ensure it works correctly with other components in your workflow.
For complex text manipulation, consider using other Nappai components in conjunction with “Combine Text”.

Security Considerations

No specific security considerations apply to this component, as it only manipulates text data. However, always ensure that the text inputs do not contain sensitive information that should not be combined.
