How to extract and separate names within a dataset
Many forms ask for a contact’s full name (rather than first and last). This can help streamline data entry and improve form completion rates. However, it can cause problems when you want to use just a specific part of the name. For example, using merge tags to send custom emails. “Hi John Smith” doesn’t feel as personal as “Hi John”.
