Hi Team,

 

I’m trying to create an automated workflow where when a message is sent to a particular slack channel the message creates an new Airtable record.

Messages will come to this channel periodically in this format.


I need this information to create a new record airtable record populating the corresponding field in the table. 

 

 

I’ve been able to create the automation to create a new record. Currently it dumps the whole message into each field. I’ve tried working to parse the message and extract the correct text and or dates, but I’m having trouble configuring the formatter to properly add the correct information. I’ve tried searching this site for a how to, but haven’t found anything to explaining that process

Hi ​@Bworth 

NOTE: The Date fields will need a full date value. (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD)

Resources for email parsing that also apply to text parsing: 

 

Figured it out. Thanks!
