Trouble extracting invoice number from email subject line in Harvest to QuickBooks Online Zap.

Hi there! I am trying to create a zap that takes email notifications from harvest saying that a certain invoice number did not copy to QuickBooks and then uses the number from the subject line to look up that invoice in harvest. It would then send a PDF of that invoice to our bookkeeper who will update it. I can't seem to make the stop work where the number is extracted from the subject line. Does anyone have any advice?

Email subject is “Sorry, Invoice 5488 failed to copy to QuickBooks”

  2. Action: Formatter > Text > Extract Pattern
  3. Action: ChatGPT - Extract Structured Data
  4. Action: Code
    1. Write custom JavaScript
