Extract structured data from emails automatically

EmailProductivityDocumentsAnalyticsAutomation

Mailparser is an email parsing platform that turns incoming emails into structured data. Point a dedicated Mailparser inbox address at any email source — order confirmations, lead forms, shipping notifications, CRM updates — and Mailparser applies your parsing rules to extract exactly the fields you need: customer names, order IDs, prices, addresses, attachment content, and more. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can react within about a minute to every parsed email, routing structured rows to spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, and downstream tools without a human touch.

Lead email parsed to CRM contact in under a minute

Every contact-form email lands in Mailparser, gets parsed, and — within about a minute — a structured HubSpot contact and deal exist with all captured fields populated. Reps see the lead in Slack before they could have manually processed the email.

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    35 min / week
    Manual lead entry from contact emails

    Sales reps open each contact-form notification email, copy name, company, and phone number, and paste them into HubSpot one field at a time — 5–8 minutes per lead, every time.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates CRM contact within a minute of email parse

    When Mailparser processes a contact-form email, the agent receives the structured payload and creates the HubSpot contact automatically — reps see the lead in Slack before they could have opened the email.

  • Marketing
    40 min / week
    Manual form-submission data import

    The marketing team exports CSV files from form tools, cleans the data, and imports into HubSpot — a 20-minute process done in batches, meaning UTM attribution often goes missing in the transfer.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent routes parsed form data with attribution intact

    Each parsed form-submission email delivers name, email, and UTM fields directly to Actionist, which writes them to HubSpot and the campaign tracker with full attribution — no export, no CSV, no cleanup.

  • Customer Support
    50 min / week
    Manual ticket creation from support emails

    Support agents read each inbound request email, extract the account ID and issue type, and open a ticket manually — every ticket costs 3–5 minutes before a human agent can even start working on it.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates pre-filled ticket within a minute of parse

    Mailparser extracts issue type, account ID, and severity; Actionist writes a fully pre-populated ticket so the support team starts each case with structured context rather than a wall of email text.

  • Human Resources
    30 min / week
    Manual candidate data entry from application emails

    Recruiters open each application notification, copy candidate name, role, and email into a spreadsheet and the ATS — 5 minutes per application that add up quickly during active hiring sprints.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent adds candidate to pipeline from parsed application email

    Each parsed application email flows into Google Sheets, Notion, and a Slack notification automatically — recruiters review a clean pipeline board instead of an unread inbox.

  • Finance
    60 min / week
    Manual invoice transcription from supplier emails

    AP staff open each supplier email, read the PDF attachment, and type vendor name, invoice number, and total into the accounting system — a process prone to errors and slow during high-volume periods.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent writes invoice rows to AP register on parse

    Mailparser extracts invoice fields from the email body or PDF attachment; Actionist writes each line item to the AP register within about a minute — the team approves, not transcribes.

  • Operations
    45 min / week
    Manual tracking number logging from carrier emails

    Ops staff scan carrier notification emails, copy tracking numbers and ETAs into the shipment register, and update the relevant order records in Notion — a repetitive task done dozens of times a day during peak seasons.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent populates shipment register from parsed dispatch emails

    Each dispatch email is parsed within about a minute; tracking number, carrier, and ETA land in the register and a Slack alert goes to #logistics — the dashboard stays current without anyone logging into a carrier portal.

  • Legal
    20 min / week
    Manual contract notification logging

    The legal team reads each contract execution notification email, extracts counterparty name, effective date, and obligation type, and manually enters them into the matter management system — each entry takes 5–10 minutes.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs contract details from parsed notification email

    Contract notification emails are parsed for counterparty, date, and obligation fields; Actionist writes the structured data to the matter management system within about a minute of each email arriving.

FAQs

Questions about Mailparser + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Mailparser?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Mailparser, and click Connect. You'll be prompted to enter your Mailparser API key. To generate one, log in to mailparser.io, click your account name in the top-right, go to Account → API Access, and copy the key shown there. Paste it into Actionist and click Test connection — Actionist runs a read call to verify the handshake before any agent tasks are set up.
What is Mailparser and why would I connect it to Actionist?
Mailparser is an email parsing service: you forward or point an email source at a dedicated Mailparser inbox address, define extraction rules for the fields you care about, and Mailparser delivers the structured data as JSON. Without automation you'd still need to manually copy that structured data into your CRM, spreadsheet, or database. Connect Mailparser to Actionist and your agents handle that last step automatically — within about a minute of an email being parsed, the extracted fields are written to whatever downstream system you specify, with no human in the loop.
Does Actionist support Mailparser's tabular (multi-row) parsed results?
Yes. Mailparser offers two webhook modes: one request per email (the full parsed payload in one call) and one request per row (one webhook per extracted row when the email produces a table, such as invoice line items or shipping manifests). Actionist's Mailparser triggers support both modes. Use the per-email trigger when each email produces a single record, and the per-row trigger when you need each line item processed as an independent record — useful for multi-line invoices, order manifests, or any tabular email data.
Can Mailparser extract data from email attachments, not just the email body?
Yes. Mailparser can parse attached files including PDF, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT, and XML. You define parsing rules that target the attachment content rather than (or in addition to) the email body. This means supplier invoices in PDF format, shipping manifests in Excel, or CV documents in DOCX can all have their data extracted and delivered to Actionist as structured JSON — no manual file opening required.
How quickly does Actionist receive data after an email arrives in Mailparser?
Mailparser processes incoming emails and fires webhook notifications within about a minute of an email arriving in the inbox. Actionist receives the webhook payload and begins executing the configured agent task immediately. End-to-end, from email arrival to a record appearing in your CRM or spreadsheet, is typically one to two minutes under normal conditions. Mailparser's processing time can vary slightly based on plan and email volume, but the workflow is designed to be near-immediate rather than batch.
What types of emails is Mailparser best at parsing for Actionist workflows?
Mailparser works well on any consistently formatted email type — contact form submissions, order confirmations, shipping notifications, invoice emails, job application alerts, CRM notification emails, and supplier confirmations. The more consistent the email template, the more reliable the parsing rules. Mailparser also has an intelligent auto-rule generator that can propose extraction rules from sample emails, which you can refine before connecting to an Actionist workflow.
Can I use Mailparser with Actionist if I don't own the sending email system?
Yes. Mailparser provides a unique email address for each inbox (for example, xyz@mailparser.io). You can forward emails from any source to that address — including emails you receive but cannot modify at the source, such as order confirmations from e-commerce platforms, supplier notifications, or application alerts from job boards. As long as you can set up a forward rule in your email client, Mailparser can parse those emails and Actionist can act on them.
What happens to emails if I run out of Mailparser parsing credits?
If your Mailparser account exhausts its monthly parsing credit quota, incoming emails continue to be imported into the inbox but are paused in the parsing queue until credits are replenished — either by upgrading the plan or waiting for the monthly renewal. Emails are not lost; they queue and will be parsed once credits are available again. For time-sensitive workflows such as lead capture or order processing, monitor your credit usage and set plan alerts so you can upgrade before hitting the cap during peak periods.
