Hi Everybody.
I would like to automate some procedures in my business. My main point of contact is a form that people fill out. The form then sends an email to my Gmail account. Some of the fields can vary, some are the same and some are free text. (see attachment)
Is there a way to get the text into different cells in a row in google sheets?
Hey @Ferris,
You can try to use ChatGpt module along with a Parse JSON to accomplish this task,
Below is an example :
You are free to optimize the GPT prompt as per your use case. Then, in the output of the JSON module you will have different variables that you can use to map in Google Sheets module.
Let me know if you still face any issues.
Welcome to the Make community!
When reaching out for assistance with your regex pattern for a Text Parser module, it would be super helpful if you could share the actual text you’re trying to match. Screenshots of text can be a bit tricky, so if you could copy and paste the text directly here, that would be awesome! It ensures we can run it against test patterns effectively. If there’s any sensitive info, feel free to change it to something fictional yet still valid by keeping the format intact.
Providing clear text examples saves time on both ends and helps us give you the best possible solution. Without proper examples, we might end up playing a guessing game, and nobody wants that as it is a waste of time! You are more likely to get a correct answer faster. So, help us help you by sharing those text snippets. Thanks a bunch!

Hi AnujP
Thanks for helping out. Can you tell me what operation you use in chat GPT?
Welcome to the Make community!
You can use a Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this Pattern (regular expression):
(?<key>.+) : (?<value>.+?)\s*(?:\n|$)
https://regex101.com/r/wC6elA/1
Global match must be set to YES!
For more information, see Text Parser in the Make Help Center:
Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp), which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.
- The complete list of metacharacters can be found on the MDN web docs website.
- For a tutorial on how to create regular expressions, we recommend the RegexOne website.
- For an easy, quick regex generator, try the Regular Expressions generator.
- For experimenting with regular expressions, we recommend the regular expressions 101 website. Just make sure to tick the ECMAScript (JavaScript) FLAVOR in the left panel.
Hope this helps!

Then, to get all of them into variables,
Select key and value here:
You can copy and paste this module export into your scenario. This will paste the modules shown in my screenshots above.
Copy the JSON code below by clicking the copy button when you mouseover the top-right of the code block
Enter your scenario editor. Press ESC to close any dialogs. Press CTRLV (paste keyboard shortcut for Windows) to paste directly in the canvas.
Click on each imported module and save it for validation. You may be prompted to remap some variables and connections.
