Make Simple Functions Standard
One of the main reasons that people use an automation tool like Zoho Flow (or Zapier / Make / etc.) is because they have no coding or scripting skills.
This means that even doing something like simple arithmetic in a Flow feels out of reach to many users.
It seems like this could be very easily rectified by having folders in the Logic tab pre-populated with very simple custom functions. Off the cuff, I would think that there would be two folders:
- Math - Contains functions to do addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rounding, etc. Basically anything that one could do with a simple Deluge function.
- Text - Would contain functions to concatenate, trim, replace, left, right, capitalize/proper/lowercase, etc. Again basically making anything that could be done with a simple Deluge function accessible to those who can't or don't want to program this themselves.
I know there is the function library (which is underappreciated), and I also realize that making these functions for one's self isn't terribly difficult. However, I think doing this with the UI I'm suggesting would be a relatively simple improvement that would make Flow feel much more useable to many people.
