Use case

You can use the strContains utility to check whether a contact's attribute contains a certain string. This is useful if you have data that is non-normalized.

For example, if you have a contact attribute of companyname with non-normalized values such as: Threads Clothing, Threads Inc, threads, threads.com, you can use the string contains utility to find if company name contains the word threads and then render content in a message based on the result.
