Does anyone have a solution for filtering out emojis from First and/or Last Name fields for Facebook leads? I believe our Facebook Ads are setup where the First and Last Name fields are prefilled off of their Facebook account but I am not too sure since I don’t manage those. Regardless, I’m more or less curious to see if anyone else has or had this problem since I’m not seeing any other questions regarding Facebook and the ability to remove emojis with filters or another action.

Hi
Good question.
Are you getting data from Facebook Lead Ads that contains emojis OR are you just curious overall?
Hello
We are receiving data from Facebook Lead Ads where the First and/or Last Name contains emojis (most don’t but some do) and right now I’m just manually update them in our CRM.

Can you show examples of the Zap data that comes thru that includes the emojis?
Do emojis comes thru with the underlying character code representation or the visual representation?
You may have to use regex (regular express) or custom Code step to handle.
Attached is what was in one of the Zap Run Details; we get the visual representation of the emoji.
I can’t say I’ve worked with regex but I can do some research on it.

You may want to try to use some regex to extract just letters.
