Hello,

I'm working on an Architect outbound flow where it needs to TTS the called parties' first name' and 'last name'. In testing, the function 'ToAudioTTS' will TTS the individual letters if the 'customer name' field in the contact list is formatted as 'last name, first name' (i.e., Basseth, Art). I would like to parse this contact field into individual components so that TTS doesn't spell out the individual letters. I'm attempting to use a combination of the following functions to do the parsing; ToAudioTTS, Call.Contact."Customer Name", and Split(). Does anyone know if this is achievable? So far I've not been successful.

What's your exact expression?  My guess is you are splitting the name itself into individual characters

ToAudioTTS((Call.Contact."Customer Name").Split(",",1)) was what I was attempting.

To get the first name, which is the last piece:

ToAudioTTS(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ",")[Count(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ","))-1])​

To get the last name, which is the first piece:

Substring(Call.Contact."Customer Name", 0, Find(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ""), ",")[Count(Find(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ""), ","))-1])

This piece is complicated because some people might have commas in their name like 'Basseth, Jr., Art'.  If you don't care about that, a simpler version is 

ToAudioTTS(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ",")[0])

Thank you Gerardo and Melissa for the input. Here is what worked after my testing.

ToAudioTTS(Append(Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ",")[1]," ",Split(Call.Contact."Customer Name", ",")[0]))

In addition to using Split, I also used Append to add a space between the first name and the last name. Without the space, the TTS engine spells out the individual letters. So "Basseth, Art" became "Art Basseth".
