Tokens and data mapping

Tokens carry data between steps. Anything the trigger or an earlier step produced can be used in a later step’s settings, and FlowWP fills in the real value when the workflow runs.

Token syntax

Token	What it holds
{{ trigger.order.email }}	A value from the trigger’s data.
{{ nodes.lookup.output.name }}	A value an earlier step returned, by that step’s id.
{{ loop.item }}	The current item inside For each, or the current number inside Repeat.

You rarely type these by hand. Open the token picker in any field to browse everything available at that point in the workflow, named the way each step describes it. Each integration page also lists the values its steps pass on.

Filters

A filter reshapes a value on its way into a field. Add it after a pipe, and chain as many as you need:

{{ trigger.user.displayName | title }}
{{ trigger.order.createdAt | date: "j F Y" }}
{{ trigger.order.total | currency: "$", 2 }}
{{ trigger.form.company | default: "your company" | trim }}

On every plan

Filter	What it does
lower, upper, title	Change case: “Jane SMITH” becomes “jane smith”, “JANE SMITH” or “Jane Smith”.
capitalize	Capitalizes the first letter: “your order” becomes “Your order”.
trim	Removes spaces and line breaks from both ends.
default	Uses the given text when the value is empty or missing.
date	Formats a date with a PHP date format: j F Y gives “13 September 2026”.

Personal and above

Group	Filters
Text	replace, remove, prepend, append, truncate, squish (collapse spaces), strip_html, slug, before, after, between, extract (a regular expression), json (escape a value for a JSON body)
Lists	split, join, first, last, count, unique, length
Dates	date_from (read a date in a given format), timezone, add (“3 days”, “-2 hours”), diff (time between two dates)
Numbers	round, floor, ceil, abs, number, currency, to_number, plus, minus, times, divide

The token picker shows each filter with an example, and developers can add their own; see the developer guide.

Data tools

For more than a filter can do, the Data tools group in the step library has steps of its own:

• Format data and Date & time — on every plan.
• Calculate, Generate a value, Set variables, Parse a file, Parse JSON, Build JSON and Create CSV — Personal and above.
• Image helper — Business and above.

Tokens are user input. A token’s value can come from a form submission or a webhook body. Treat it that way in anything that builds a URL, a query or HTML.
