When to use this.

The "Remove Extra Whitespace" action is designed to enhance text readability by eliminating unnecessary spaces, tabs, and newlines while retaining single spaces. This action takes a single input parameter, "text," which is the raw text requiring normalization. Upon execution, it outputs several key metrics: "changes_applied" indicates whether any modifications were made, "characters_removed" quantifies the number of characters eliminated, "normalized_length" provides the length of the cleaned text, "normalized_text" presents the refined version of the input, "original_length" reflects the length of the initial text, and "original_text" displays the unaltered input. This action falls under the enrichment category and is particularly useful in data preprocessing, content formatting, and improving text clarity for applications such as document editing, web content management, and automated reporting.

FAQ.

Mostly. Fast actions fill the cell in a few seconds. Long-running ones run in the background and write back to the row when they finish, so you can close the tab.

No. A failed lookup costs zero credits. When a provider misses or times out, the waterfall moves to the next one and you only pay for the match you actually got.

No. Run it on one cell, on a selection, on the whole table, or on a schedule. Same action either way.
