Saving value before pipe with multiple recipients

I’m using CF7 pipes with checkboxes to conditionally send forms to select recipients. E.g. [checkbox my-selections label_first use_label_element “Item1|email2@gmail.com” “item3|email3@yahoo.com”]

How can I save the value before the pipe instead of the value after the pipe? I’m using the recommended Flamingo plugin to store form submissions.

The email is correctly displaying the value before the pipe but the email address which cones after the pipe is saved in Flamingo.
