Hi @Francis H, welcome to the Community and to Zapier!
The copy worksheet action isn’t what you’re looking for in this case because it copies an existing Google Sheet. What we need to do is find a way to get the data from the email into Google sheets.
The first big question is how we’ll get the content of the email into a format that’s readable for another app. Do you know if the table in the email is an image or if it’s made using html? If you’re not sure, can you highlight the text and copy it, or does clicking on it select the whole thing? Do you also get the table as an attachment on the email, like a csv file?
If you don’t currently get the table as an attachment, do you know if ThinkMarkets will send it as an attachment rather than as text in the email? When we know what format the table’s in, or when we can get it into a helpful format, we can look at the next steps to getting it into a Google Sheet :)
Hi Danvers,
I tried highlighting the whole table in the email, and I can easily copy that into an Excel, and it does retain the table formatting as well.
Currently, there is no option to get the table as an attachment...so unfortunately I am stuck with the manual copy and paste for now.
Hey there @Francis H - I’ve been noodling about this one for this morning.
Unfortunately without that attachment we’re a bit limited as to what we can easily suggest. What I would recommend doing if you’re interested in considering reaching out to a Zapier Expert who may be able to help with a code step to export the data and manually paste it.
Thanks for letting us know and if you have any other questions feel free to reach out any time :]

Thanks for the effort, Rachael. I’ll try to contact Zapier Expert.
