Convert HTML tags to plain text?

[marty.lindsay]

I have a solution to this using the toolbox plugin.
The video explaining the plugin in here: https://youtu.be/9jVEzPLRebI
In my case the html I am working with is the html from tweet content.

• install the toolbox plugin
• add the Javascript to Bubble element to your page
• I named mine ‘javascript html to text’
• fill in the function name within the element. I called mine ‘text’ which results in a function called ‘bubble_fn_text’
• Enable the Publish value checkbox
• Specify the Value type as text

In your workflow

• define the first action as the one that gets the html you are working with, so you can referencing this is the next action. In my case this is step 1 [ alternatively you could reference any other source and update the script accordingly]

• Add another action to ‘Run Javascript’

• paste in this javascript below

  const span = document.createElement(‘span’);
  span.innerHTML = Result of step 1 (Twitter - Embed T…)'s body html:formatted as JSON-safe;
  const result = span.textContent || span.innerText;
  bubble_fn_text(result)

Note:

• the formatting as json-safe is required to correctly manage the escaping of quotes
