StartsWith Post-processing function can be used in agents to set the 'true or ‘false’ value, where the fields start with or not either for character or for string respectively. For example, I have this scraping agent “StartsWith Function Example(Post-processing)” in my account and I want to make sure the field City start with Washington is ‘true’ or for other fields is ‘false’, using StartsWith Post-Processing function in the IsWashington City field which is created in the table for assigning the ‘true’ or ‘false’ value.
