Formatting Currency (Money)

Updated July 26, 2022 23:18

Overview

Zingtree provides a simple Webhook for taking numeric input, and converting it to a nicely formatted currency value. Like in these examples:
- 1234567 -> $1,234,567
- 123456 -> $123,456
- 123.00 -> $123
- 123.45 -> $123.45
Setup

In this example, we'll assume your tree has a variable named amount, and you want to convert it to a variable called dollars that displays nicely.

First of all, create a webhook to call the currency converter.
1. Go to Account Settings, My Apps
2. Click on Add Webhook
3. Give the webhook a name, and enter this into the URL:
```
https://webhooks.zingtree.com/zingtree/v1/make_currency
```
  It will look like this:
4. Add the Webhook.
Next, go into your tree, and add the webhook to a node after the amount variable has been set.
1. Edit the node, and click Apps/Webhooks
2. Pick the new Webhook you created from the list. Ours is called "Currency Formatter".
3. Add these parameters to the message data:
```
&value=#amount#&return=dollars
```
  It looks like this:
4. Now insert #dollars# into the content area to display the result.
Parameter Reference

In the Message Data, you can include these parameters:
- value= (the numeric value to convert)
- return= (the variable that gets the formatted currency)
- currency= (The currency, i.e. USD, EUR, etc.) USD is the default.
- locale= (How to format the number returned by region.) Default is USA (en_US). German would be de_DE, etc.
- Webhooks: Data Exchange via 3rd Party URLs
