I am trying to split this pulseName from webhook and set variables for First and Last Name.  
I have the following formula:  
{{split(1.event.pulseName; )}}

But it’s always giving me the whole name still even if I play with get () function.

Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll need to get the first array value after splitting them

{{first(split(1.event.pulseName; space))}}
