Output string to log file, then pipe to function as argument

So I am trying to echo a string out to a log file and also pass that echo'd string over to a function along with other arguments as well. I can't seem to figure out how to do it or find any answers on here. Here is what I have

#!/bin/bash

test() 
 INPUT=$(cat)
 echo "IT WORKED $INPUT $1 $2"


echo "TEST2" > test.log | cat | test "Hi " "John"

My Output

IT WORKED Hi John

splitting output usually requires something like tee

I tried working with tee as well, however I wasn't able to get it. Something like echo "TEST2" | tee test.log > test "Hi " "John didn't work

The whole point of tee is to have its standard output be a pipe. If you say tee (filename) > test …, that will create a file called test, which is not what you want. P.S. Put everything that you tried into the question.

Thank you! That worked! I could've sworn I did that, but I must've did something complete different. ++
