This node allows you to convert value from source type to target type.

## Node Inputs

1. Value: The value to convert.
   * Type: `<based on source type>`

## Node Parameters

On the face of the node:

1. Source Type: The type of the value to convert. The only value available currently is `Text`.
   * Type: `Dropdown`
2. Target Type: The type to convert the value to. The available options are `Integer`, `Decimal`, `Boolean` and `Timestamp`. The default option is `Integer`.
   * Type: `Dropdown`

## Node Outputs

1. Converted Value: The converted value in the target type
   * Type: `<based on target type>`
   * Example usage: `{{convert_type_0.converted_value}}`

## Example

The below example is a pipeline which converts a value from `Text` to `Integer`.

1. Input Node: The value to convert
   * Type: `Text`
2. Convert Type Node: Converts the value from `Text` to `Integer`
   * Value: `{{input_0.text}}`
   * Source Type: `Text`
   * Target Type: `Integer`
3. Output Node: Outputs the converted value
   * Output: `{{convert_type_0.converted_value}}`
