Email reader

Our email reader has two options:

• Contact extract

• Attached file (coming soon)

Sending emails

To send an email to us for extraction, you can include the provided email address in the following fields:

• To

• Cc

• Bcc

Contact extract

Contact extract will read contact information from the body content of the email.

All key-value pairs must be stored in square brackets separated by a colon.

Example usage:

[first_name: John]

[last_name: Smith]

[email: [e-mail]]

Key	Value
REQUIRED first_name	The contact's first name.
OPTIONAL last_name	The contact's last name.
REQUIRED (optional when phone is present) email	The contact's email address.
REQUIRED (optional when email is present) phone	The contact's mobile phone number.

Aliases

Aliases allow you to replace the keys used by the platform with more visibly friendly alternatives.

When using a key whose value is 2 or more keys, the platform will break on the space character.

For example:

• [Name: John Smith] = (first_name = John) + (last_name = Smith)

• [Name: John Roger Smith] = (first_name = John) + (last_name = Roger Smith)

Example usage:

[Name: John Smith]

[Email: [e-mail]]

Key	Parent key
First name, Business	first_name
Last name, Surname	last_name
Email	email
Phone, Mobile	phone
Name	first_name last_name

Considerations

• If you have the same key and/or a corresponding alias key, then only the first value will be taken. To avoid unwanted outcomes, please ensure each key is included only once.
