I'm using a Catch Raw Hook to get some data, but how can I extract a specific value, like the 'email' ('email': 'email@email.com'), to fill a field?"

Choose Formatter by Zapier > Text > Extract Pattern.
Input the raw data and apply a regular expression to capture the desired value, such as an email address.
OR another straightforward approach is using Code by Zapier
-
In the code editor, write a script to parse the raw data and extract the desired value. For example, in JavaScript:
const rawData = inputData.raw_payload; // Replace with your actual raw data variable const parsedData = JSON.parse(rawData); const email = parsedData.email; // Adjust based on your data structure return { email }; -
Ensure that the
inputData.raw_payloadreferences the raw data from your webhook trigger.
