Testing the Number Formatter in Pabbly Connect is crucial to ensure that your configurations are correct. After saving your settings, you will see the formatted number based on your selected grouping.

Click on the mapping icon next to the number input field. Select the desired dynamic value from the previous steps. Click ‘Save and send test request’ to see the mapped value formatted.

This feature enhances the flexibility of your workflows in Pabbly Connect, allowing for real-time data manipulation and formatting.
