It's basically a visual drag-and-drop tool to automate business processes.
You can drag-and-drop many different actions together (including email) to automate and track many processes you organization might have.
I would love to hear your feedback as we are just getting off the ground.
I just noticed Google started doing something like this. I got Google search results about purchases I'd made from Apple. They parsed a receipt from my Gmail account and displayed it in a card in my search results. I was a bit taken aback by that.
Good luck Zapier. I've spent many an hour on this exact problem. 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.…
I don't know how Zapier works, but it is possible that they do some kind of fuzzy matching, that is robust to those things.

Would love to see an open source tool like this for parsing general text / csv / fixedwidth / html in a similar way. Very nifty concept.
I really want to open source the core parsing bit which is based on diff-match-patch but I've got some cleanup to do before... It is probably not hard to reverse engineer what we're doing, it is pretty simple!

IIRC, this is not parsing , there is a Gmail API mentioned during 2013 Google IO https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-c... https://developers.google.com/gmail/actions/getting-started
I forward all my work flight itineraries to Gmail (so I get Google Now notifications) after cut & pasting them out of the Word document I get them in.
Gmail parses them and displays them using the "Flight details" format, even though there is none of the information required for the "Actions" thing linked above.
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…
For some reason, this comment really read like a marketing testimonial.
The Zapier "Zapbook" automatically makes a page for each possible combination of the services they hook into, giving useless bullshit like https://zapier.com/zapbook/ducksboard/aim/ (which, by the way, isn't the same as https://zapier.com/zapbook/aim/ducksboard/ either).

If you want infuriating marketing, try Googling for an integration between two obscure web services.
