Zapier errors / Schema

Invalid Syntax: Only numeric values are allowed

platform: Zapier / category: Schema

Cause

Formatter's Number transform received a value with non-numeric characters such as a currency symbol, comma, or a line-item array.

Fix

Add a Formatter > Text > Replace step before the math step to strip the offending characters. If the input is a line-item array, add Formatter > Line-items > Line-item to Text first to flatten it, then map the cleaned value into the Number transform.
