I have an online form from my website that sends the form submission to my Gmail in a body text. I am trying to extract the name of the form submitter, so I can input the name into a zapier table field. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there @Hunter,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Before we dig deeper into this, have you tried using the Email Parser by Zapier app? The Email Parser by Zapier allows you to extract any data for use later in a Zap. You can learn more about Email Parser by Zapier here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496292952973-Trigger-Zaps-from-new-parsed-emails

Additionally, you can also try using AI by Zapier to extract important data. More about that here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496342944013-Use-AI-in-Zaps-to-analyze-and-parse-your-text

Kindly give it a try and let me know how it goes? I'll keep an eye out for your response!

Hi @Hunter,

Were you able to get the names out of the email using Email Parser or one of the other methods mentioned in the guide Troy shared?
