multiply helper

The multiply helper returns the product of two numeric values. Use it to compute extended prices, apply percentage-based discounts, or scale values within a flow.

Syntax

{{multiply value1 value2}}

value1 -- The first factor. Required. Accepts a number, numeric string, or field reference.

value2 -- The second factor. Required. Accepts a number, numeric string, or field reference.

Examples

Apply a percentage discount

{{multiply record.total "0.9"}}

Input: record.total is 100
Output: 90

Multiplies the total by 0.9 to apply a 10% discount.

Calculate an extended price

{{multiply record.quantity record.unitPrice}}

Input: record.quantity is "3", record.unitPrice is 19.99
Output: 59.97

Multiply a field by a hard-coded value

{{multiply "5" record.items.length}}

Input: record.items.length is 4
Output: 20

Usage notes

  • Both inputs must be numeric or parseable as numeric. Non-numeric strings (e.g. "abc") return NaN.
  • When working with currency or decimal values, pass properly formatted numeric strings (e.g. "9.99") to avoid floating-point rounding errors.
