Hey guys,

I'm new to zapier and totally stucked with the formatter function. I want to extract the last name of a contact form which is always the same pattern so I can send it out for a whatsapp sms:

First Name : John
Last Name : Doe
Email : JohnDoeTest@gmail.com
Mobile : 12345

Message:

This is the test message.

However, It does the right input but no output and I'm helpless :(

Anyone could help out? Thanks!
