I’m trying to set up an automated email that fills in the contents of a multiple select field. Is there a way to insert the multiple select field in something like a plain english list?


For example, I have a multiple select that has Sam; Suzy; Pete]. I would like to insert the sentence “Sam, Suzy, and Pete” into my email.


Thanks!

Here is an implementation in the Scripting App:


// 🧲

const list = input.config().any_list

//console.log(list)



// 🧞‍♂️

function makeSentence(list) {

    switch(list.length){

        case 1: 

            //console.log(listo0])

            output.set('sentence', listt0]);

        break;

        case 2: 

            let two = list

                    .join(' and ')

            //console.log(two)

            output.set('sentence', two);

    break;

    default :

            let more = list.length ? list

                    .slice(0, list.length - 1)

                    .join(', ')

                    + ', and ' + list.slice(-1)

                : console.error('The list was totally empty!')

                //console.log(more)

                output.set('sentence', more)

    }

}



// ▶️

makeSentence(list)

Let me know if that works for you as it is something that I am going to need very shortly in my own base. Thanks!
