I have two Squarespace forms that show up in Active Campaign as {First=john, Last=smith}. However, this does not happen when testing the Zap, only for live cases. Can someone help?

Hi @Ideos Institute 

That may be due to how the Squarspace form settings are configured for the name field.

As a workaround, you can use Formatter steps or a Code step to parse out the values.

Hi there @Ideos Institute 👋

Did you manage to get this solved by adding a Formatter or Code step to the Zap as Troy suggested? 

Keen to ensure you’re all set here so let us know if there's anything else we can assist with! 🙂


Hi @SamB. Unfortunately, as a novice user, I am unfamiliar with how to utilize a Formatter or code to solve the problem. If you can add more details about what exactly I need to do, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks for getting back to me @Ideos Institute. Hmm, you mentioned previously that the fields are different when the Zap runs live. 🤔 So instead, perhaps you could use custom pill mapping to manually select them when setting up your Zap?


We have a guide that outlines how to do that here:


Can you give that a try and let me know if you get stuck at all? Happy to assist further! 🙂
