Some pointers on how to use formulas for experienced liquid users

Adding simple values

Very little has changed here, if you’re using the no-code editor then liquid and formulas are indistinguishable for adding simple values.

If you are using switch over to editor mode however you will notice that the delimiter used in formulas has changed:

# liquid
{{ foo.bar }}

# formulas
<< foo.bar >>

Calling a function

Differences between liquid and formulas start to become apparent in how you call functions.

Where in liquid you would have written something like:

"abcd" | replace: "a", "b"
// Result: "bbcd"

In formulas you would use a more common C style function call syntax

REPLACE("abcd", "a", "b")
// Result: "bbcd"

Calling multiple functions

Often you will want to call more than one function.
