Number Formatting

To format numbers on ActivatePro, you should use the formatDigits function. The syntax of this formatting function is:

{{formatDigits '{
"propertyName": [Value that should be formatted], 
"numberDecimals": [Decimals number],
"decimalSeparator": [Decimal separator], 
"thousandsSeparator": [Thousand separator],
"percentage": [Percentage option]
}'
}}

Please note that the formatDigits helper function only works when used with either the #includeProducts or #findProduct helper function.

Property	Type	Description
percentage	boolean	Optional. This option specifies whether the value should be formatted as a percentage or not. e.g. true
propertyName	string	Required. The attribute containing the value that is used for formatting. e.g. [properties.price]
numberDecimals	integer	Required. The number of decimals that is displayed. e.g. 2
decimalSeparator	string	Optional. The string that is used to separate decimals e.g. ,
thousandsSeparator	string	Optional. The string that is used to separate thousands e.g. .

Formatting the price of a product extracted from the product feed

Using the helper function #findProduct, we search for a particular sku and format the result's [properties.price] attribute. We use 2000 as the value of the product's price for the example below.

{{formatDigits '{
"propertyName": "[properties.price]", 
"numberDecimals": 2,
"decimalSeparator": ",", 
"thousandsSeparator": ".",
"percentage": "false"
}'
}}

Once the function is evaluated, it displays 2.000,00 in the section where it is used in the message.
