Overview of Helper Functions#

Pipedream provides a set of helper functions that make it easy to manipulate
and work with data in your workflow. You can use these helper functions to:

Perform mathematical operations on data
Format data
Extract data from arrays and objects
Convert data from one format to another
Manipulate dates and times
Generate random data

Here are some examples of what you can build using the Helper Functions API:

A calculator that performs mathematical operations on data
A formatter that formats data
An extractor that extracts data from arrays and objects
A converter that converts data from one format to another
A date and time manipulator
A random data generator
