Often, that information is in email attachments, as well as in the body of the emails. Business owners who have multiple employees need something that&#8217;s does this for them, at scale.<\/p>\n<h2>What is an email parser?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-style: normal; line-height: 150%;\">An email parser is an automated way to extract the information in emails. Often, the data is quantitative, and therefore extracting it within a spreadsheet is a smart idea so that you can get the bigger picture, but still drill down to whatever is needed. Best use cases are for events, order numbers, subtotals, customer service responses, email contact information, and basically anything that repetitively shows up in your emails.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-style: normal; line-height: 150%;\">Theoretically, you <em>could<\/em> use an email parser on your entire inbox, but that\u2019s usually only advised if you have a dedicated email address that you want to parse, like service@yourcompany.com. If you want to parse your own inbox or your company\u2019s employees\u2019 inboxes for something specific, it\u2019s best to parse a Gmail label. It\u2019s an easier way to ensure that your email parsing is specific to what you need. For example, let\u2019s say that you\u2019re building an email list, but you use your email for so much more than just with your customers. Siphoning off your emails with your customers into a Gmail label means that when you parse the data in that label only, you\u2019ll get your customer list in a spreadsheet which can then be used for email marketing and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-style: normal; line-height: 150%;\">We\u2019ve created <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cloudhq.net\/what-is-an-email-parser\/?utm_campaign=hackernoon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Export Emails to Google Sheets<\/a>, which gives you a lot of room to decide how you want to export your email data. You can export your data by person, date, or even if you just highlight what information you want parsed, that will generate a rule for all the rest of your emails. So if you\u2019re looking for a subtotal and you highlight it, all emails with subtotals in that same format will get exported into a Google Sheet for you. You can set that up on an ongoing basis so that as more emails come in, it populates your Google Sheet, too.
