Question

How do I split or parse text after a specific character?

Hi, 

 

I am working on a Zap. When I test it, this is the outcome I get. This is almost what I want, but I would like the zap to pull everything after the ":" for each line.

 

For example: The row currently reads "Company Name: Tactix Inc" and I would like it just to read "Tractix Inc". How can I do this?

Hi @RosalieSanchez 

Welcome to the Community! I'm sorry you’re having trouble with your Zap.

You can use the Formatter by Zapier action step in step 2. The event is “Text” and the Transform field should be “Default Value”.

Please give it a try and let us know how it goes!
