How do I extract only a section of the email’s text from the email’s body?

The information I need is in the middle of a lot of text that is above and below what I need zapped into slack.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi @North Commerce 

Good question.

What you are seeking is referred to as parsing.

There are a few ways to do this…

  1. Formatter > Text > Split
  2. Code
  3. Email Parser by Zapier
    1. I’d recommend Mailparser
