This was a fun one.  I love it when I get to practice/learn new regex syntax.

Advanced solution is below, for intermediate just imagine the interface tools aren't there.

 

Also, the way this was designed, if people have the same initials (for example AG), the first person gets AG@domain.com and the next guy gets AG1@domain.com, etc.

Workflow


Yoshiro_Fujimori_0-1685578382847.png

Formula Tool 1

  First Name = Uppercase(GetWord([Name], 0))
  Last Name = Uppercase(GetWord([Name], 1))
  Initial = Left([First Name], 1) + Left([Last Name], 1)


Multi-Row Formula
  SerNo = IF IsEmpty([Row-1:Initial]) AND IsEmpty([Row+1:Initial]) THEN Null()
  ELSE [Row-1:SerNo] + 1 ENDIF


Formula Tool 2
  SerNo2 = IF [SerNo] = 0 THEN "" ELSE ToString([SerNo]) ENDIF
  Email Address = [Initial] + [SerNo2] + "@organizationname.com"

Comment
The proposed solution is:

AB@organizationname.com

AG1@organizationname.com
AG2@organizationname.com

...

But I think the numbering should be:

AB@organizationname.com

AG@organizationname.com
AG1@organizationname.com

...

because in the real world, the second person will join after the first person got his email address.
At that time, the first person should get an email address without serial number.
