📝 Overview

The "calculate" operation allows you to handle everything from basic arithmetic to complex data adjustments.

☝️ Note: While the example below used fixed numbers, you can easily reference dynamic values (retrieved values) from previous steps in your Flowbot.


🔹 Available Calculation Actions

Date/Time Addition & Subtraction

You can add or subtract time across various units, from minutes to years. You can also specifically target the beginning or end of a month for cleaner scheduling.

Round Up, Down, and to the Nearest

Keep your numerical data clean by rounding values. You have full control over whether to round up, down, or round to the nearest whole number.

☝️ Note: To round to the first decimal place (the nearest whole number), simply enter "0" in the conversion operation field.

Basic Arithmetic (The Four Operations)

Performs standard calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, by using any numerical data within your workflow.
