      Hey @Jeff, Thanks for your detailed and super quick reply. I actually had your suggestions in mind because I watched all your YT videos and read most of the documentation. I was hoping there would be a clean solution, but using a path condition in Zapier solves the problem. However, I wasn’t able to implement a default value (Zapier passes a spacebar value alone as an empty value) - but I will use the flag option here. Thanks again—I really appreciate your time!

      @chrismeadmore Thanks for reaching out to us. You are 100% correct that we can’t use a /n or /r modifier to insert a line break when using a TSV as a Data Source. Instead, we’ll need to use a special character in conjunction with an After Effects Expression. For this example, we’ll use an asterisk ( * ) in our Data Source to designate where line breaks should be inserted. So, if we wanted text on two lines, the data would look something like this: “Lorem ipsum*dolor sit amet” (with no quotes). Then, we’ll want to add this Expression: thisLayer.text.sourceText.split("*").join("\r"); to the Source Text property of the text layer. This should instruct AE to search the text and replace any asterisks it finds with /r, which should result in a line break. You can change the asterisk to another character if needed, but hopefully, this should get us moving in the right direction. If you have any other questions or if we can help further, please don’t hesitate to reach out here or to our main support at support@dataclay.com. Thanks and Happy Rendering! Jeff
