What is everyones experience with cleaning up text cases in emails/landing pages from record tokens?

Ie someone fills in a form with lower case → “dwayne” and we want to then clean this up and apply a proper case on emails moving forward so email go our with “Hi Dwayne”

Text case formatting in emails/landing pages - ie Proper Noun → First Name

Short of cleaning up contacts via an external api / n8n

Hello @tornmarketing !

The way you described works well, but I have a suggestion. Try the all-mighty [Twig Templates plugin](https://mtcextendee.com/marketplace/twig-templates-for-mautic/). You can use this format to add a capital to the first letter:

```auto
{{ 'dwayne'|capitalize }}

```

would return **Dwayne**

More over you can do:  
…  
`{{ contact.firstname|capitalize }}`  
…

Which would fix your problem.
