When extracting emails, things aren’t always as they seem.
If the data you are expecting isn’t arriving as expected go to a sample email and read the original email as seen on the right ->
Once you click on the “Show original” link, you will see how the text changes
Let’s take a simple example like a Venmo payment confirmation email:
The following email looks simple.
All we have to do is apply the “Text After” filter with “You paid”.
And another at “Amount:”
But when we look under the hood we see something different:
In these cases, we’re going to want to use Regex filters
For example we set the text before as a new line “\n” followed by the text “Transfer date”.
And we set the preceding start of the text to capture as a newline “\n”.
And we do the same for the date and amount
Update: Regex has been merged
The above example will not be one lines of regex:
\n(.+?)\nTransferDate
