Website read name, paste, erase surname

[Johannes_Arnborg]

Hi,

I'm testing the website command so it automatically fetches the name of the person I'm writing to (on an internal system). It works fine, but the CSS selector only allows me to fetch the full name. I only want text blaze to use their first name and not the surname, so it'd be faster for me to just type it manually than to select the surname & erase. Is there a way i can add a second step to this automation?

Instead of "Hi John Smith", i want only "Hi John".

Any suggestions? Is this possible?

Hi Johannes,

You can get the first name from the full name using a Text Blaze formula.

Here is an example:

Automatic First Name in Outlook Web reply

Hi, I took a look at Outlook and Text Blaze gave me this selector for the sender: {site: text; selector=.Q84Kk} This is the full name including the email. If you want just the first name you can split it by " " and take the first item: {=split({site: text; selector=.Q84Kk}, " ")[1]} To see how the splitting works, look at this example: {formtext: name=example; default=Joe Smith jsmith@example.com} Full match: {=example} First Name: {=split(example, " ")[1]}

Thank you, Scott! This worked perfectly.
