Split the name to first and last?

    Hi,

    We don’t want to have two fields the first and last name on the form, so we just using one field called Name to collect the full name and mapped to the first name in Salesforce.

    The problem is when a lead submitted to Salesforce, the full name is showing in the first name field (as expected) and the last name field is always blank. Is there any way to work around, so the entered name field on the web form will split out correctly in Salesforce side as the first name and last name.

    Thanks!

    You can do this with a filter (see the readme) … but not in the UI. Sorry.

    Hi Nick,

    Could you tell me which filter I should use for this purpose, if possible could you give me some code snippet? I’m not a good PHP coder.

    Thank you very much!

    @mapperkids1 There are code samples in the Readme/FAQ.

    salesforce_w2l_post_data is the filter you want.

    If you’d like custom code, Premium Support is available.
