I am trying to parse text from a form submission, and I am trying to understand how to do so with the Split Text to Extract Words function in Zapier. Some of the data fields from the form are as follows:

Name: Ben Tillis
Form Name: Los Angeles

I would like a Slack message sent with the first name and last initial, a period, and form name: “Ben T. Los Angeles”

How do I use the Split function to do this?
