Email Parser processes the emails running items (Email sources, Parsers and Actions) one after another, in a sequential way. In each step, a set of fields are created based on the results of the previous steps. For instance, an Email Source creates the field Subject and then a Parser can use this field to capture, let’s say, an invoice number.

Email Parser 5.2

February 15, 2019

The changes in this release are:

[New] Email sources, Parsers and Actions can now be grouped in tabs at the left panel. This is specially useful if you have a very complex set up with a large amount of items
[New] Items in the left panel can now be moved with the mouse (drag and drop). Easier and faster than clicking to the button “up” or “down” multiple times.
[New] Support for Zapier.
[New] Support for IFTTT.
[New] Capturing HTML tags from the email body with XPATH expressions.
[New] Capturing HTML tags from the email body with CSS selectors.
[New] Added many key shortcuts, mostly the Enter and Esc keys in many panels and lists
[New] Added a context menu to the Output tab and the list of emails.
[Fix] The email sources that take files from a folder in your computer now are named using the name of the folder instead of requiring a ‘fake’ email address.
[Fix] New payment gateway for EmailParser online: Paddle.
[Fix] Completely reworked license key panel at Settings->License. Much easier to understand and less nonsense.
[Fix] The action that saves the email attachments to a folder now creates a field named SavedAttachmentPath for every saved file. Previously it was named SavedAttachment which was confusing with the actual contents of the attachments.
[Fix] Many other small bug fixes and tweaks.
