Hi, how can I extract data from the body of an email and send it to a google sheet? At the moment I have connected two apps: (1) Email by Zapier and (2) google sheet

(1) Here I sent an email automatically forwarded by siteground webmail

(2) This is where I should extrapolate the data from the mail (1) and insert them divided by columns in the google sheet

(1) the email will contain these entries that will be dynamically filled in with lead data, for example: Name: {example1} - IP: {remote_ip} - Address {address}

 

finally, how can I individually extrapolate these entries from the body of the email? I hope I have explained myself well. Thank you in advance

Hi @TR2A! I would advise you to use ‘Parser by Zapier’ for this.

First, you can set up an email address within ‘Parser by Zapier’ to forward your emails. Make sure the emails are sent in this format:

name(example)
IP(remote IP)
Addres(abc)

Then, set up a Zap with ‘Parser by Zapier’ as the trigger, and choose the ‘New Email’ trigger. You will then find that it recognizes the values in your email as separate values (name, IP, address, etc.).
I hope this helps!

Hi @TR2A 

I’d recommend using Mailparser to parse emails as it’s much more robust and reliable than Parser by Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/mailparser/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

A custom Code step can be used to parse emails as well: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

Thanks Troy, I use siteground webmail (business reasons). But I consider your solution for future projects.
