Parsing an Email to Create a Lead

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by hosungson 1

Hello! 

 

I am needing help taking an incoming email, parsing it, and then using that data to create a lead. Our emails arrive: 


Subject: New Inbound Lead

 

Name: Test

Email: email 

Company Name: Company Name

Phone: Test

Referral: Test

Service: Test

Message: xxxxxxx

 

I've set the trigger to "when a new email arrives" and placed a subject filter. 

 

The next step is the Html to text. 

 

Where I struggle is the code required when I'm adding the information into dataverse. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. I've attached a picture of the flow.

    Hi @hosungson 

    Assume my email body like this:

    In order to distinguish 'Name' with the Name in the 'Company Name', I changed the 'Company Name' to  'Company name'.

    vLilyWmsft_0-1629427964066.png

    You can take a try with the screenshots as below:

    vLilyWmsft_1-1629428533165.png

    Name Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'],'Name:')),'Email')))

    Email Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Email:')),'Company name:')))

    Company name Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Company name:')),'Phone:')))

    Phone Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Phone:')),'Referral:')))

    Referral Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Referral:')),'Service:')))

    Service Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Service:')),'Message:')))

    Message Expression:trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Message:')),'Best Regards')))

    vLilyWmsft_2-1629428552965.png

    When the email arrives, the new row with these info will be added:

    vLilyWmsft_3-1629429071337.png

    Hope the content above may help you.

    Best Regards
