Save Data from Emails Automatically With An Email Parser
Manually saving your emails to PDF might be a viable option if you only need to save a handful of emails. However, if you are sorting through a large volume of emails or need to extract data from emails on a regular basis, consider using an email parser, which not only saves you time but is extremely more reliable. An email parser automates the process of extracting data from emails and attachments, so you don’t have to go in and manually save the email as a PDF or other format. With an email parser, it works best to parse your data and export it in a structured format like Excel or Google Sheets instead of PDF to ensure the information you are extracting is consistent, formatted properly, and without error.
Here is how you can use Mailparser to extract your data from a large volume of emails.
How To Extract Data From Emails Using Mailparser
- Create a free account at Mailparser.io.
- Once the account is created, you will be asked to create your first @mailparser.io inbox. This is the email address you will forward the emails you would like to parse. Forwarding emails can be automated by creating filters with your email provider such as Gmail.
3. Once you have sent your first email to your @mailparser address, go ahead and create and/or tweak custom parsing rules to fit your needs. The video below will walk you through the steps to create your parsing rules.
4. Once your emails have been parsed, go to your dashboard and navigate to “Downloads.” You can export the data in various formats including XML, CSV, JSON, and XLS.
6. Click on the link generated to download the extracted data from your emails in your preferred format.
Many professionals and small-to-medium-sized businesses rely on Mailparser to save them countless hours of manual data entry. Having to go through and manually extract data from hundreds and thousands of emails is a tedious, expensive, and often error-prone task. Some of the industries that benefit from email parsers include:
- E-commerce
- Real Estate
- Tourism
- Digital & Communication
