Calculated Merge Fields in Actionstep allow you to write in PHP code to create your own merge fields. However, not all PHP functions are available to be used. Some functions are not allowed due to security concerns while other functions are allowed.
If you try to use a PHP function that is not supported in a calculated merge field, you will receive a message saying that function is not allowed.
In that situation reach out to our support staff by submitting a ticket via our Help Center and ask if the function can be allowed. If you include a copy of the calculated merge field you are trying to create, that will help the Actionstep team decide if the function should be allowed or not. If it is not allowed, Actionstep may be able to suggest an alternative function you could use.
