This is a killer feature for Zapier and i'm really excited. Zapier has been a huge time saver for us at BetterVoice.com. How many times do you get approached by customers or other vendors about "when are you going to integrate with XYZ" product? If you just integrate ONE time with Zapier, you're immediately connected with over 200 other online services. Then your answer to those customers/vendors can be: "We're integ…
If the templates don't change at all (no ads, nothing contextual or optional) then this is possible, but in my experience emails have a surprising amount of variation when trying to do stuff like this. Paid with an online check this time versus a credit card? Billing address, last 4 numbers, etc might now be gone, which totally messes up the extraction.
Hopefully though people will be using this for more niche tools than Amazon receipts.
Can someone share a use case? It seems cool for... something . edit: thanks all, very interesting.
Sure, so whenever someone cancels their Planscope account I send myself an email with their name, email address, LTV, plan, and cancelation reason (this is also stored in my database.) With this, I could simply CC that email to Zapier, they'll yank out all that info and shove it into a Google Spreadsheet, which will let me do certain things that would be a pain to program myself.
Zapier may be really cool, but it still seems like you're taking raw data, converting it to human-readable form, then sending that to Zapier to attempt to extract the raw data again. Or am I misunderstanding?

This is more than awesome for my use case.
[edit] Incidentally has anyone found it rewarding to "hear" what you get done for the day? (another pleasure cream added on top of checking items off your to-do list.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't understand.. if you send automated emails to yourself in a human-friendly format, why not just use a Google API to push the same data into the spreadsheet at the same time?

For some reason, this comment really read like a marketing testimonial.
this is what a testimonial would be if testimonials were invented in 2014

I am playing with it now. I want to have my EZPass (RFID auto tolls) statements sent to my inbox. Right now I get an email with a url, then I have to type a PIN code, just to see my monthly statement. I am too lazy to do it every month, but it would be nice the statements just appeared in my inbox.
I was a bit taken aback by that.
I would like this for PDFs. Do you know an app that can handle that?
