How do I separating an email body into separate data fields?


Hello,

 

I am trying to import a few data fields to my CRM when I receive an email that has the following in the body:

Email: example@test.com
First Name: John
Last Name:  Smith
Phone:  (555) 324-1873

 

However, when creating the zap, Zapier only let’s me select all of these items as one bulk piece of data, instead of separating them into separate fields. How do I go about separating them all out into separate data fields?

 

Thanks,

Hi @Anthony.Ruperto 

Good question.

What you’ve described is referred to as email parsing.

 

Try using Email Parser by Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps/email-parser/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Or Mailparser: https://zapier.com/apps/mailparser/integrations

 

Other alternatives:

Use 1 Code step to parse the email body.

Use multiple Formatter > Text > Split steps to parse the email body.
