Payload field transformers

A very important feature in Lead Prosper is the ability to modify or transform the data passed by the suppliers before it's sent to the buyer.

This is needed in most multi buyer setups, where your supplier is passing data in a format that your buyer might not accept. Take for example a phone number. Your supplier might send it as 1 (313) 249-2384. However, your buyer wants it as 3132492384. No spaces, no extra characters, no country code.

For this purpose, Lead Prosper created a couple of handy modifiers that you can use when building your payloads to help you transform the data.


How to use Field Transformers

To use any transformer on any dynamic field, all you need to do is add the || symbol inside the merge tag. Example: {{Field||Transformer:Parameter}}

Some transformers need parameters, like date, where you can pass the format in which you want to get the date. Consult the table bellow for all the available transformers and their parameters.

You can use more than 1 modifier for 1 string. Example: {{Field||Transformer1||Transformer2||Transformer3}} {{field||replace:Male@@M||replace:Female@@F}}

Some transformers will need more than 1 parameter. Parameters are delimited by @@. Example: {{Field||chars:0@@4}}. 

Field transformers can be use in the following places:

  1. real-time and webhook payload builder, for both HTTP or Email delivery
  2. direct post and ping/post URLs
  3. direct post and ping/post headers

Practical Example

Let's assume we have the following multi buyer campaign: 

Our supplier generates the following lead:

  • first_name: David
  • dob: 02/12/1967
  • phone_number: 1 (619) 267-4352
  • income: $100,000
  • email: david@company.com

Our buyer John would like to receive the first name in upper case, lead's age instead of dob and income as a number.

On the other hand, Jane would like to receive the first name lower case, email as md5 hash, and phone as a 10-digit phone number.

To make this possible, we have to apply the following transformers to our campaign fields before we send the data to the buyer:

  • to get the upper case name, we will use {{first_name||upper_case}}
  • to get the lower case name, we will use {{first_name||lower_case}}
  • to get the age for John, we will use {{dob||age}}
  • to get the income as number, we will use {{income||number}}
  • to get the md5 hash of the email, we will use {{email||encode:md5}}
  • to get the phone as a 10 digit number, we will use {{phone_number||phone:10}}

Here is the final payload for John

Examples

Given your input is my name is john, applying ||remove_chars:mn will transform it to y ae is joh

Given your input is my name is john, applying ||remove_chars:MN will transform it to my name is john


# fallback

This method allows you to set a default value for an empty input parameter.

STRING
Required. String to return

Examples

Given your input is my name is john, applying ||fallback:this is a test will return my name is john, because your input field is not empty.

Given your input is , applying ||fallback:this is a test will return this is a test


# date

This method allows you to format a valid formatted date to another format. Check Appendix C for possible output formats.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Required. Valid date format
SOURCE FORMAT
Optional. The source format of the date value. IMPORTANT: This field is required only when your field is not configured as a Date-Time field in your campaign and it starts with the month (m/d/Y, m-d-Y, etc) or the day (d/m/Y, d-m-Y, etc). Consider this date: 04-06-2023. The system can't correctly know if 04 is the month or the day.

Examples

Given your input is 2015/07/21, applying ||date:Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z will transform it 2015-07-21T00:00:00Z

Given your input is 2015-07-21 01:23:45 PM, applying ||date:Y-m-d H:i:s will transform it 2015-07-21 13:23:45

Given your input is 2020-02-03 23:45:23, applying ||date:Y-m-d h:i:s A will transform it 2020-02-03 11:45:23 PM

Given your input is 07-23-2000 and your field date format is 01/15/2000 (m/d/Y), applying ||date:Y-m-d will fail, because the date starts with a month. Applying ||date:Y-m-d@@m/d/Y will transform the date to 2000-07-23. Please make sure the SOURCE FORMAT matches your campaign field date format, otherwise the transformer will ignore the date.


# date_add

This method allows you to add an interval of time to a date.

INTERVAL
Required. Valid interval. Possible values are: Y, M, W, D, h, m, s

Important notes:

  • The date might not start with the month. Please use the date transformer to format the date to a different format before applying date_add or date_sub transformers
  • The output value will always be in this format: Y-M-D H:M:S, regardless if the input date was just Y-M-D or any other format. As such, it might be required that, after applying this transfomer, you will need to use the date transformer to correct the output.
  • You can use any combination of the intervals, and omit the ones with 0. Ex: 1M 1m 10s will add 1month, 1minute and 10seconds. The only caveat is to not add the weeks before the month.

Examples

Given your input is 2015/07/21, applying ||date_add:1Y 1M 1D will transform it 2016-08-22 00:00:00

Given your input is 2015-07-21 01:23:45 PM, applying ||date_add:3h 10m 15s will transform it 2015-07-21 04:34:00


# date_sub

This method allows you to subtract an interval of time from a date.

INTERVAL
Required. Valid interval. Possible values are: Y, M, W, D, h, m, s

Please check date_add transformer for more info.


# date_diff

This method allows you to calculate the difference between a given date and today's date

INTERVAL
Required, interval in which the diff is calculated. Possible values are: days, months, years

Important notes:

  • The date might not start with the month. Please use the date transformer to format the date to a different format before applying this transformers

Combined with if_else_between transformer, you can easily transform a date to a text. Say we have the incident date and we need to send to our a buyer one of the following intervals: In the last month, More than a month ago, More than a year ago. To do so, we will apply the date_diff:months transformer and combine it with if_else_between to transform a number (the number of months since the incident) to the desired buyer interval.

Examples

Given your input is 2015/07/21, applying || date_diff:months will transform it 86, assuming today's date is 2022-10-10.

Given your input is 2015-07-21 01:23:45 PM, applying ||date_diff:years will transform it 7, assuming today's date is 2022-10-10.


# timezone

This method allows you to convert the timezone for a date

TIMEZONE
Required.

Timezone abbreviation must be one of the timezones listed here.

This transformer should only be used for UTC dates or dates that contain the timezone in the string. By default, this will treat every date as UTC. This transformer is mostly used with our system field keys: lp_date and lp_timestamp.


# us_state and us_state_long

Transforms a matching US state string between full text or 2 letter abbreviation

Examples

Given your input is Florida, applying ||us_state will transform it to FL

Given your input is FL, applying ||us_state_long will transform it to Florida


# to_bool

Transforms 0 to 'false' and 1 to 'true'. Any other input will be ignored.

Examples

Given your input is 0, applying ||to_bool will transform it to false

Given your input is 1, applying ||to_bool will transform it to true

Given your input is test, applying ||to_bool will transform it to test


# from_bool

Transforms 'false' to 0 and 'true' to 1. Any other input will be ignored.

Examples

Given your input is false, applying ||from_bool will transform it to 0

Given your input is true, applying ||from_bool will transform it to 1

Given your input is test, applying ||from_bool will transform it to test


# if_else

Transforms values based on a configuration map and simple conditions. This is very useful on text fields that receive fixed values from suppliers, but have to be mapped to different buyer values.

The format of this transformer is: if_else:[FIND->REPLACE@@FIND->REPLACE@@fallback->REPLACE]. fallback is optional. There is no limit on how many FIND->REPLACE keys you can add See examples bellow on how to use.

Important: this transformer works on full input values, not on parts of the value. The conditions are evaluated in order. If any of them matches, the others are ignored and the input value is replaced with the value of the condition. The optional fallback condition can be added in case all if conditions are not met. If fallback and no conditions are met, the original input value will be preserved.

Examples

Let's consider we have a credit_score field that can receive the following values: 300-600, 600-700, 700-900
Your buyer needs the credit_score as: poor, fair, good
To achieve that, we have to transform the field: {{credit_score||if_else:[300-600->poor@@600-700->fair@@700-900->good]}}
If the supplier sends the value 600-700, the following will happen: we will first try to match 300-600. Because that was a no match, we continue to the next condition, which is 600-700. Because this matches, we will replace the credit_score field to fair
If you want to replace all other values with "unknown", you will need to add the fallback condition: {{credit_score||if_else:[300-600->poor@@600-700->fair@@700-900->good@@fallback->unknown]}}


# if_else_between

Transforms values based on a configuration map and a numeric value that is between a min and a max value. This is very useful on fields that receive a numeric value from suppliers, but have to be mapped to different buyer values depending on a value range.

The format of this transformer is: if_else_between:[MIN,MAX->REPLACE@@MIN,MAX->REPLACE@@fallback->REPLACE]. fallback is optional. There is no limit on how many MIN,MAX->REPLACE keys you can add. See examples bellow on how to use.

Important: ensure the value of the field is numeric. Multiple formats are accepted, like: 1234; 1,234; 1,234.56. Any other format most likely will fail. The conditions are evaluated in order. If any of them matches, the others are ignored and the input value is replaced with the value of the condition. The optional fallback condition can be added in case all if conditions are not met. If fallback and no conditions are met, the original input value will be preserved.

Examples

Let's consider we have a field that receives a number of miles a car is driven every year. Examples: 11,000, 5000
However, your buyer needs to know an approximate range, like: 1000, 5000, 10000, 15000
To achieve that, we have to transform the field: {{car_miles||if_else_between:[0,1000->1000@@1001,5000->5000@@5001,10000->10000@@10000,over->15000@@fallback->10000]}}
In this example, if the supplier passes 7000, the buyer will receive 10000. If the supplier passes 11256, the buyer will receive 15000. If supplier does not send this field, because we use fallback, buyer will receive 10000.
In the above example, we used 10000,over. The reserved key over can be used to define an unlimited max value for the range. This is the same as doing 10000,99999999999


# height

Transforms a given height (numeric value) into feet or inches.

UNIT
Required. Can be ft or in

Examples

Given your input is 67, applying ||height:ft will calculate the height in feet and return 5

Given your input is 67, applying ||height:in will extract the inches and return 7


# math_add

Transforms a field by permforming a mathematical addition. Only works if the input value is numeric. Maximum precision is 8 decimals.

NUMBER
Required. Must be numeric

Examples

Given your input is 24.78, applying ||math_add:10.015 will return 34.795


# math_sub

Transforms a field by permforming a mathematical subtraction. Only works if the input value is numeric. Maximum precision is 8 decimals.

NUMBER
Required. Must be numeric

Examples

Given your input is 24.78, applying ||math_sub:10.015 will return 14.765


# math_multiply

Examples

Given your input is 24.78, applying ||math_ceil will return 25


# math_floor

Transforms a value to the next lowest integer value by rounding down if necessary. Only works if the input value is numeric.

Examples

Given your input is 24.78, applying ||math_floor will return 24


# math_modulo

This arithmetic operation calculates the remainder of a field value divided by the given argument. This function is very useful to convert height or months.

NUMBER
Required. Must be numeric and greater than 0

Examples

Given your input is 65, applying ||math_modulo:12 will return 5. Useful when you have the height in inches, and you need to extract the inches left after converting to ft/in.

Given your input is 26, applying ||math_modulo:12 will return 2. Useful when you have the total numbers of month left in a lease. and you need to calculate the months left without the matching years.


# merge_fields

Merge the values of 2 fields into one. This is very useful when you want to combine things like Project Type (Install, Repair) and the Material Type (Metal Shingle, Asphalt Shingle, Wood Shingle) to generate one field that has both: Install Metal Shingle. From there, it can be chained with another transformer, like if_else, to transform to a number (Install Metal Shingle could be 1, Repair Metal Shingle could be 2, etc).

FIELDS
Required. Comma separated of one or many campaign fields.
SEPARATOR
Optional. Separator to use when merging the fields. Default to 1 space.

Examples

Given your fields are project_type with values Install and Repair, and material with values Metal and Slate, you can use {{project_type||merge_fields:material}} to send the value Install Metal, depending on the value received for project_type and material. This used our default separate of one space between the fields.

To use a custom separator, given your fields are state and zip, you can use {{state||merge_fields:zip@@_}} to send the value CA_92010.

You can merge as many fields as you want, in any order that you want, with any separator.


# output_number

ONLY WORKS WITH JSON PAYLOADS Use this when your buyer enforces a certain parameter to be sent as numeric.

Examples

Let's assume you have a field called debt_amount and a simple JSON payload {"debt": "{{debt_amount}}"}. The buyer requires a numeric value when sending the JSON body. Using {{debt_amount||output_number}} will send {"debt": 10000}. Without this transformer, the body would be {"debt": "10000"} and can fail buyer validation, as he requires this field to be sent as a number, not as a string.


# output_bool

ONLY WORKS WITH JSON PAYLOADS Use this when your buyer enforces a certain parameter to be sent as a boolean or null

Examples

Let's assume you have a field called home_owner and a simple JSON payload {"own_home": "{{home_owner}}"}. The buyer requires a boolean value when sending the JSON body. Using {{own_home||output_bool}} will send {"own_home": true}. Without this transformer, the body would be {"own_home": "true"} and can fail buyer validation, as he requires this field to be sent as boolean true/false, not as a string.


# csv_to_json_array

ONLY WORKS WITH JSON PAYLOADS Use this when your buyer enforces a certain parameter to be sent as an array. The data input should be a string of comma separated value(s)

Examples

Let's assume you have a field called interests. When sending data to Lead Prosper, you pass interests=solar,roofing,debt. If you apply this transfomer and use "lead_interested_in": "{{interests||csv_to_json_array}}", we will send to your buyer an array composed of those 3 values, like this: "lead_interested_in": ["solar", "roofing", "debt"]. If interests=solar, the output will be "lead_interested_in": ["solar"]



Important notes

  1. some characters will have to be converted when used as parameters for the modifier. Check Appendix A
  2. for the transformers that allow configuration, ensure that the following chars are not passed as a parameter: || and @@
  3. transformers with configuration errors, like invalid parameters or invalid modifiers, will be ignored. please run tests after adding a transformer to ensure your campaign can still receive and deliver the lead as you want.


Appendix A - special characters

Character Replace with
" %22
\ %5C
& %26


Appendix B - valid format dates

A valid format date need to contain at least the year, month and day. Some valid formats are: 2020-02-03 23:45:23, 2015-07-21, 2015/07/21, 07-11-2015, 07-11-2015 14:23:08, 2015-07-21 01:23:45 PM, first day next month, +3d

These are just a few examples, but our system can parse a wide variety of dates. Always check and test your input and output to ensure  your campaigns do not stop working and transmit the data as you expect

If you are using a standard format provided by the Date & time field when configuring your campaign, you do not need to worry about anything.

Appendix C - output date formats

Format Description Output
d Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros 01 to 31
D A textual representation of a day, three letters Mon through Sun
j Day of the month without leading zeros 1 to 31
l (lowercase 'L') A full textual representation of the day of the week Monday through Sunday
N ISO-8601 numeric representation of the day of the week 1 (for Monday) through 7 (for Sunday)
S English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters st, nd, rd, th. Works well with j

If you wish to use your own words (like on, at), those characters have to be escaped by the help of \. Some (\e, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v) must be double-escaped (\\e, \\f, \\n, \\r, \\t, \\v). See last example in the table above.
