Add Alias Adds an alias to the record. You need to specify the alias that you want to add.
Add Tag Adds a tag to the record. You need to specify the tag that you want to add.
Add Value Adds a value to the vocabulary key. You can select the existing value or create a new value. Use this action when the vocabulary key doesn’t contain any value.
Add Value with CluedIn AI Adds a value to the property or vocabulary key according to your prompt. For example, you can check if the email address in the record is a personal address or business address.

Normalize Date Converts the values of the vocabulary key to ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00+00:00). You can enter the culture or input format to tell CluedIn that you expect dates for the specified vocabulary key to be in a certain way. If you don’t enter the culture or input format, CluedIn will analyze the values and determine their date format on its own before converting them to ISO 8601 format. This action gives you more control over how dates are interpreted before they are converted to ISO 8601 format.
Important! To use this action, the Date Time option must be disabled in Administration > Settings > Processing Property Data Type Normalization. For dates that have already been converted when the Date Time option was enabled, the Normalize Date rule action has no effect at all because the dates are already normalized.
