I’m guessing the answer is no, but just in case, I’m asking… Is it possible to create an Email Parser template that can find x number of similar values. In my case, I receive weekly emails summarizing some activities for each day worked. For each day worked, I want to create a new row in a google sheet. If I manually copy one day’s summary from the email and then forward that to Email Parse, it works great. But is there a way that I can have the parser iterate over the original email and, for each day summarized, create a new row? Keep in mind that the number of days worked in a week will change, so it would be problematic to try and create different values for day1, day2, etc.

Hi
Good question.
The Email Parser by Zapier is not robust, so I’d recommend using Mailparser: https://zapier.com/apps/mailparser/integrations
The Looping app can be used for handling 1+ line items: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help

Thanks for the advice. I played with mailparser for a bit, but it looks like it can only process iterations when the data is provided in a table form. I could be wrong & I’ve put in some questions to them. But after exploring for about 2 hours, I don’t think it’s going to help me with my particular problem. Thanks though!

A Code step can be used to do more advanced parsing: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help
