Does anyone know how to keep text from a link and remove the unwanted text?

While using the wrike integration, I’m able to get the permalink to the wrike task. I need the ID at the end to run another automation but for some reason, the Wrike TaskID is not a field in my operation. I want to take the task ID (which is found at the end of the permalink) and send it back into my CRM to update a deal.

Which parts of the text do you want to extract from the link?

If it’s just the digits,

You can use a Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this regular expression pattern

(?<task_id>\d+)$


For more information, see Text Parser in the Make Help Center:

Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp), which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.

Hope this helps!

Hey there

you can use set variable module and inside that
use get(split(permalinkVar ; = ) ,2 ) function this will provide you the ID here,
instead of permalinkVar use the actual variable.
