Extract First Name from Email Addresses Prompt

B2B lead generation prompt for extracting and cleaning first names from email addresses. This prompt automates first name parsing from the {{Custom Variable emai}} field by isolating text before the @ symbol, removing numbers, converting periods and dashes into spaces, and returning only the first token as the first name. It then capitalizes the first letter for clean personalization. If no valid first name exists or the handle is generic (like info@ or sales@), the output becomes there in lowercase to keep workflows consistent and avoid awkward greetings.Ideal for sales ops, SDRs, and marketing teams, this prompt streamlines list enrichment and outbound personalization at scale. Use it to power dynamic merge tags in cold email campaigns, CRM records, and CSV preprocessing. It fits seamlessly into an AI sales research workflow, improving greeting accuracy and reducing bounce‑inducing personalization errors. The result is cleaner contact data, more natural salutations, and higher reply rates in cold outreach.This outbound prompt for prospecting is especially useful when working with scraped lists, uploaded spreadsheets, or CRM exports where first names are missing but email handles are available. It standardizes name handling rules so your sequences stay consistent across tools and datasets, and it prevents mistakes like Title Case on generic inboxes.Note: If the original input is provided in another language, the final description here is in English. The prompt still follows the same extraction and formatting rules regardless of language.
