Choose the appropriate folder to save your workflow, preferably one related to Google Sheets.

In the trigger section, select the Email Parser as your application. This allows you to automatically forward all emails from your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect, enabling data extraction.

3. Setting Up Email Parser in Pabbly Connect

To configure the Email Parser, copy the provided email address from Pabbly Connect. Next, go to your Gmail settings and navigate to ‘See all settings’. Under the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab, add the copied email address as a forwarding address.

After selecting your spreadsheet, map the fields from the Email Parser response to the respective columns in Google Sheets. This mapping ensures that the sender name, sender email, subject, and body text are correctly filled in your spreadsheet.

5. Testing the Integration Between Email Parser and Google Sheets

Having set up both the Email Parser and Google Sheets actions, it’s crucial to test the integration. Send a test email to your Gmail account and check if the data is captured by Pabbly Connect and subsequently added to your Google Sheets.

For instance, if you receive an email with the subject ‘New Order’, ensure the details appear correctly in your Google Sheet. The integration should automatically populate the new row with the sender’s name, email, subject, and body text from the email.

After testing, you can confirm that every new email received will trigger the extraction of data and add it to Google Sheets seamlessly, thanks to Pabbly Connect. This automation saves time and eliminates manual data entry.
