javascript - Edit words in Zapier

Question

Im trying to reverse words in Zapier. For example "word"-->"drow".

I already looked for an app which I can connect with Zapier, however I didn't found something. Maybe someone else knows something?

From my understanding, this can be also done by Code (Javascript or Python). Due to the fact that I have not really knowledge about coding and the app code by Zapier.

I tried this already, but it looks like that I'm making mistakes. Here is an example picture I tried. zapier test

And the code:

var cname1 = inputData.cname1.substring();
reverseString('cname1');
function reverseString(str) {
 return str.split("").reverse().join("");
}

Can anyone help me with this topic?

The issue is you need to return an object from Code by Zapier steps. Try this instead:

const result = {};

Object.entries(inputData).forEach(([key, value]) => {
  if (value) {
    result[key] = value.split("").reverse().join("");
  } else {
    result[key] = 'EMPTY'; // so the key isn't lost; can remove this branch if you don't care
  }
});

return result
