combine

The Combine field type builds a value by merging multiple fields or constants into one string. Placeholders wrapped in { } are replaced with actual values from the lead or constants.

Example:

"{first_name} {last_name}"

Result:

"John Doe"

You can insert separators such as spaces, dashes, or leave them out entirely:

  • “{first_name}-{last_name}” → John-Doe
  • “{first_name}{last_name}” → JohnDoe

Order of Execution

Modify Field operations are processed in order, from top to bottom. The output of one step becomes the input for the next.

This means the position of a Combine modifier is important:

  • Place Combine Before Editing if you want to merge fields first and then apply other modifications to the combined result.
  • Place Combine After Editing if you want each field modified individually before they are merged.

Best practice: Review the order carefully – a misplaced Combine can completely change the final output.
