Congratulations Bryan for launching it! We are doing the same at http://mailparser.io and I can confirm that there is a real need for a solution like that. A lot of our existing customers use mailparser.io in combination with Zapier. Those customers can now directly use the parser of Zapier. Which sucks for us but which is surely great for the customer and Zapier ... :-) One caveat though, a lot of use-cases are not…
How would you parse lists and tables from a website? e.g. parsing an online schedule in order to use the data in a responsive mobile or native app? Random site example: peoplewhodance.net/events/NYE/schedule.html

Except that's not what's offered. https://zapier.com/zapbook/drupal/zapier/ "Vote to connect Drupal and Zapier" brings up "Sorry! This App Isn't Available Yet". No integration is possible. It's a useless search result.
Fair enough, I see what you mean with that example. Does that only happen if one of the pairs is Zapier or are there others where it does too? Your other example seems to work, and in the comments they claimed it's used too.

Very nice! This looks very useful and easy to use. How much boilerplate text do you need on either side of a token in order to identify it? Put another way, how much can the template emails vary? If the template format changes is there any sort of notification? Did you use the simplest implementation that could work or is this much more complicate than it looks?
It can actually get pretty complex, the technique we're using is a wacky hacky hodgepodge of Google diff-match-patch that works surprisingly well! If you run into any that don't work, just let us know and we can add it to the test suite and figure it out.
How would you prefer we contact you? There's no contact info on the site.

They do parsing as well. 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.
Gmail doesn't do any parsing, Gmail provides the SDK described here https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-c... When developer / brands create emails following Gmail quick action guidelines, and you have Google Now enabled, then you will see Google Now cards.
I cut and paste plain text out of a word document and send it, and that triggers the Google Now cards.
