Text to Action: English to Python Data Rules

Modern data teams often struggle with slow transformations, fragmented tools, and heavy reliance on developers. Text to Action in eZintegrations addresses this by allowing users to describe data rules in plain English and automatically convert them into executable Python logic.

This English to Python automation approach reduces complexity while maintaining full control over data transformation. Instead of writing long scripts or switching tools, users simply state what they want doneand the system executes it reliably at scale.

What Is Text to Action in eZintegrations?

What is Text to Action?

Text to Action is an automation feature that converts English instructions into Python code for real-time data processing.
It bridges no-code simplicity with low-code flexibility, enabling both business and technical users to transform data efficiently.

How does it work?

• Users write transformation rules in plain English

• The system generates executable Python logic

• Python runs directly within the integration workflow

• Clean, structured data is returned as output

When should you use it?

Use Text to Action when you need fast, repeatable, and scalable data transformations without maintaining complex scripts.

What Data Sources Does Text to Action Support?

Which inputs can be processed?

Text to Action supports structured and semi-structured data from:

• Emails

• API responses

• WebSocket streams

• Databases

Any data source that produces JSON-like output can be transformed using English to Python automation.

Why English to Python Automation Matters

Why not write Python manually?

Manual scripting is powerful but time-consuming and error prone. According to industry surveys, data engineers spend 30–40% of their time maintaining transformation logic rather than delivering insights (Gartner DataOps Report).

English to Python automation reduces scripting time while preserving Python’s reliability and flexibility.

For users new to Python data handling, refer to the official Python documentation for background on dictionaries, lists, and data structures.

Top 5 Benefits of Text to Action

Benefit	Description
1. Faster Data Transformation	No need to manually script every logic — plain English triggers Python output instantly.
2. Reduced Technical Dependency	Non-developers can execute data rules without waiting for IT or engineering teams.
3. Error-Free Automation	AI-generated Python ensures consistent formatting and reduces manual mistakes.
4. Scalable Across Multiple Use Cases	Works for small tasks (rename a field) and large operations (clean entire datasets).
5. Hybrid Flexibility	Start with English rules and enhance or override logic using Python code if needed.

 

How to Get Started with Text to Action

What are the setup steps?

1. Open Your Integration Bridge

Choose the workflow where you want to apply automation.

2. Add the Text to Operations Block

Place it after the source and before the target.

3. Type Instructions or Write Python

Examples:

• “Make last names uppercase”

• “Rename email to user_email”

• Python example:

  response['price'] = float(response['price'])


You will work with:

Key Variables Used in Text to Action

Variable	Purpose
pycode_data	Serves as the input dataset used for generating Python logic from English instructions.
Responsedata	Stores the processed output returned by the AI-generated Python code.

Enable Forward Code to include the generated Python in the results.

Example 1: Make Last Names Uppercase

Instruction:
Convert the last_name key to uppercase.

Auto-Generated Code:

Output:

---

Example 2: Create Dynamic Keys

Instruction:
Use attributename as a new key and assign attributevalue, then remove both original fields.

No manual loops, no debugging — just English to Python automation doing the work.

FAQ’s

1. What is English to Python automation?

It allows users to write instructions in plain English, and the system automatically converts them into Python code for execution in data pipelines.

2. Who benefits from English to Python automation?

Both technical and non-technical users benefit—business users can automate tasks without coding, and developers can speed up script creation.

3. What tasks can English commands automate?

Common use cases include formatting data, cleaning records, validating values, transforming file structures, and running logic-based automation rules.

4. Can the Python code be edited after conversion?

Yes. Users can review, refine, or extend automatically generated Python code for advanced customization or business logic.

5. Does this support automation at scale?

Yes. Once created, the automated Python logic can be reused across workflows, scheduled, and run automatically for large datasets.

6. What are the key benefits of English to Python automation?

It reduces manual effort, accelerates scripting, improves accuracy, democratizes automation, and ensures faster deployment of data workflows.
