Ability to gather first and last names as separate fields

2y agoPending

For anyone who retrieves booking information from an external database such as Airtable.

It's exasperating to have to reformat the first and last names of each slot.

People sometimes type for their names :

- First name Last name

- first name

- last name first name

- Last name

- first name last name

- First name

- last name

- first name Last name

- whatever

- I won't even mention the invisible spaces left at the end of the name

My goodness! And you end up with a rambling list of upper case, lower case, first and last names that have no coherence whatsoever. Part of my life goes down the drain doing this thankless job. This is sad.

Please compel the guest to write this:

- First Name

- Last Name

and 1 other

  1. Derrick Reimer is this feature still planned? I notice that the contact database still mixes first and last names, which I find really unfortunate. It's super difficult to manage contacts if first and last names are grouped together. This contact feature was an interesting opportunity to implement this separation of first and last names...

    1. Bastien Vairet: Yes

    2. Derrick Reimer but it's no longer marked as planned

    3. Derrick Reimer I'd be willing to pay for this feature—I'm so sick of having to keep rewriting my clients' names correctly

  2. I've got a meeting with "de"! "De" is a particle in French, like Honoré de Balzac, Jean de la Fontaine, Charles de Gaulle.

    This single field for first and last name is really catastrophic, it's a pain on the host side. You never see people's first and last names displayed correctly.

    Please, we really need a separate first and last name field, which we can then receive via the API.

    I don't understand why this option is still not available after more than 5 years of Savvycal's existence.

    1. Derrick Reimer 🙏🏻

  3. Derrick Reimer I hope it's not too far down the list : )

  4. Derrick Reimer, I'm taking the liberty of reposting here because it's as if no one had ever seen this request; it seems simple and essential to me, but am I wrong?

    1. Bastien Vairet: We do hear this occasionally come up! It's safe to say this is planned, I'll go ahead and mark it as such.

    2. Derrick Reimer great, what a relief!
