Hello! I am trying to extract a specific URL and send it to a Slack channel.

When I try to Extract URL from Zapier’s formatter, it only pulls the first URL it sees, and we need to extract a URL further down the Body HTML. 

How do I specify which URL to extract? The URL I want to extract from each email has a similar pattern, but ends in a different code each time.

How can I Fix this?

Hi @bradyk00 

Good question.

Couple options:

  1. Formatter > Text > Extract Pattern
  2. Formatter > Text > Split + Formatter > Text > Extract URL
  3. Code

When I enter the pattern, can I just enter the beginning of the URL? That doesn’t seem to work.

@bradyk00 

Check the field description for guidance about using Python regex.

So I am looking to find any URLs that start with - https://auth.ahrefs.com/auth/ and place the whole URL into a message to send to Slack.

Would this be the Regex formula I would enter into Zapier? I’m not familiar with Python Regex:

 

import re

text = 'Your text with https://auth.ahrefs.com/auth/specific-path and other contents'

pattern = r'https://auth\.ahrefs\.com/auth/a^\s]*'

matches = re.findall(pattern, text)

for url in matches:
    print(url)
 

@bradyk00

Try this pattern:

https://auth\.ahrefs\.com/auth/[^\s]*
