I am trying to create an email zap to extract information from a gmail account. When I try to “ Connect Email Parser by Zapier” in the second step, it asks me to login (I am already logged in to my Zapier account). However, when I reenter my credentials, it says “ No account with that email. Please try again. ”
What gives?
+11Hi
Instead of entering your login credentials for your Zapier account at https://parser.zapier.com/login/, can you try clicking the Log in with your Zapier account button instead?
Eager to ensure this gets sorted so please let me know how that goes!
Ok. That appeared to work. But I am still lost. Where do I create a mailbox and how do I get my gmails into it? Tried looking for tutorials, but haven’t found any specific to this.
I’m here and don’t know what to do next.

Here’s our help article on how to setup Email Parser by Zapier: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496306000269-Set-up-your-Email-Parser-account-in-Zapier#limitations-0-0

Hopefully, this helps!
Thanx everyone for your help and advice! I decided that Zapier is not for me. The interface isn’t intuitive and what I need just seems too complicated. I can write a program to do what I need in less time.
All I wanted to do was parse an email (Google Alerts specifically) and extract the links from it. Seems impossible.
Thanx again! So long and thanx for all the ghoti.

For example for this email:
If you use a regex pattern of <a\s+[^>]*href=["'](https?://[^"']+)["'] in the Formatter action, like so: 
It should extract the three links in the email:
Totally understand that you’re likely not up for giving this a try right now,
