Tips for setting up Zapier automations
Create Multi-Step-Zaps: With Multi-Step-Zaps, you can automate multiple actions from one trigger event. For example, when receiving user feedback via email, you can create a new participant in Condens and then create a new session using this participant information in one automation.
Parse input information: When assigning information to the appropriate field is challenging, including Zapier parsers as steps in between can help to identify the input information. For example, Formatter by Zapier and Email Parser by Zapier.
Email Parser by Zapier: Create a unique mailbox address that triggers the automation whenever a new email comes in. In the setup process, define the relevant information fields that you want to push to another tool. Here's how that could look like:
Formatter by Zapier: This parser allows you to extract relevant information from your input data. Some set-ups require coding skills on your side to define your extraction pattern. Here is an example of extracting the first email address that appears in a text. We extract information from a Slack message in this example, but this works for any input information. When creating this Zap-step, define the Style to "Extract Pattern" and use this expression: [\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+
In the following steps, you can directly use the extracted information, for example, by adding the email address as participant information.
