Set up your Email Parser account in Zapier

• Go to Email Parser and select Login.
• Select Login with your Zapier account to use your Zapier account, or use the Email and Password fields if you have an account that was created separately.

• On the Mailboxes page, select Create mailbox.

You’ll now have an @robot.zapier.com email address that you can send emails to.

• Copy the @robot.zapier.com email address.
• Forward an email that you want to parse to the email address.
• Once Email Parser receives the email, you’ll see the email in a template.

• In the template, highlight the words or groups of words that you want to show up as data in your Zap.
• Give each one a label. This will be the label of the field in your Zap.

Once you’ve labelled all the data, select Save address and template.
Review the template.

• Try to keep each parsed item on a separate line where possible.
• If you can't use separate lines, use a non-space delimiter, like the "|" character, to help the email parser find the field boundary.
• Try to keep each parsed data roughly the same (e.g if you have parsed one word and it comes in as two words it might break).
• If the email has been forwarded that can cause trouble - extra threads below, extra signatures, indented content etc.
• Try to copy and paste the content into a new email instead or set up auto-forwarding.

If you always want to parse a certain kind of email you receive, such as every new form submission on your website, you’ll want to set up auto-forwarding for whichever email service you use. Here’s how you do that with Gmail.

In order to verify your Email Parser email address to turn on auto-forwarding:

• Select View emails for the mailbox you want.
• Open the verification email and click the verification link.
