I’ve connected my Checkmarket survey to Smartsheets via Zapier however some of the questions are multi-line questions - such as “your information” there is are separate lines within the same question for first name, last name, email, etc however when I am in the Action part of adding the response to Smartsheet its mapping these as a string with comma separator (John, Smith, john.smith@test.com).  What I need is for those to be separate fields on the smartsheet which is already setup with the separate columns.  So how do I parse the string - mind you I need a no code/low code response please.

Hi @spreik1,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

You can use Text in Formatter by Zapier - Split Text to parse the string and map them to separate fields in Smartsheet. Here’s an example:

You can learn more about modifying text formats in Zaps here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496304469261-Modify-text-formats-in-Zaps#1-add-a-formatter-step-0-0

Hopefully, this helps! 😊


This doesn’t seem to work with commas as the delimiter between the text.


Hi @spreik1,

Have you tried setting the “Segment Index” field to All (as Separate Fields)? This is what it’ll look like based on your example (John, Smith, john.smith@test.com):

You can then map the output individually:

Please give that a try, and let me know how it goes! 😊
