Question

Email parser is confused by comma in EUR amount (amount is now 100x)

Hi,

I use the email parser => YNAB Zap.

Problem: the amount in the email is in a German format with a comma instead of a decimal point. So out of 4 euros and 99 cents (4,99 EUR), Zapier makes 499 EUR because it awaits a decimal point but gets a comma. Can anybody help?

amount: -499.00

amount_formatted: -€499,00

 

But in a US format, the correct should be EUR4.99.

 

Thanks,

Christoph

Hi @chriskle 

Good question.

Unfortunately, the free email parser by Zapier is not very robust/reliable.

I’d recommend these other options:

  1. Ask AI
    1. Zap action: ChatGPT - Extract Structured Data
  2. Mailparser
  3. Code
    1. Custom JavaScript
