I have emails that contain links to a website, and I want to save those links to one of my favorites foflders on Chrome. How can I do this using Zapier? I set up the trigger to be emails under a certain label (i.e., when I give an email a certain label, I want Zapier to find the link in the email and open and/or save that URL to my favorites tab).
Not sure if this is possible, but any advice or ideas are appreciated.

Hi
Consider using a Bookmark Manager app in the Zap: https://zapier.com/apps/categories/bookmarks

Thanks. How can I pull out the link I want from the email though? The link is written as a hyperlink in the email. Here is an example:
Hi Archie,
Great news! A brand new Class was just posted for YOU from John Smith on the topic of Basketball called Basketball 101 - Making the shot.
Thank you for subscribing!
In this case, I want to pull out the link that is in the hyperlink “Basketball 101 - Making the shot”. The links I want will always be right after the word “called”, and before the link break and the line “Thank you for subscribing”.
Since all the emails are set up with the same format, would I be able to pull out the link that is between those words?
Not sure if this is possible or if there’s a better way to do this, but this is what I could think of.

Hi
What app are you using to receive the email? (e.g. Gmail)
Try adding a Formatter > Text > Extract URL step to the Zap: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/extract-data-in-zaps#add-the-formatter-app
Make sure to use the BODY HTML data point.
You may also need to use additional Formatter (SPLIT) steps to isolate the start/end text if there are other URLs in the email body.

I am using Gmail. I was able to get it to work using the steps you said, however, I don’t have a premium account so I cannot create Zaps with multiple steps. Is there a way to do what I want without multiple steps?

The solution requires multiple Zap steps unless you used named variables in how the email is sent:
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
