Email Module Error

Fix the error in the Email module

What is the problem & what have you tried?

Hi! I have the following scenario: Webhook → Make AI Toolkit → Email (Send an Email).

The data.from field coming from the webhook contains the sender in the format “Name [email protected]” instead of just the clean email address. When I map it directly to the “To” field in the Email module, I get this error:

Couldn’t send the email in ActionSendEmail. The To field got an invalid email address from the webhook data.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

•	regex(2.data.from; "pattern") → Error, it says the regex function does not exist in Make
•	get(match(2.data.from; "pattern"); 1) → Still not working / the text editor overwrites what I type with browser autocomplete
•	Mapping 2.data.to[1].value as suggested by the automatic error analyzer → Also didn’t resolve the issue

Does anyone know the correct syntax in Make to extract only the email from a string like “Name [email protected]”? Or is there a more direct way to clean this data before passing it to the Email module?

Thanks!

Error
Couldn’t send the email from this module. The To field got an invalid email address.

Possible fixes:

Use a valid email in the To field.
Trim extra text from the To mapping.
Add ifempty() for empty sender values.

Use replace(), not regex() or match(). In the Email module’s To field, map data.from as the first argument in this expression:

replace(2.data.from; /.?([A-Z0-9._%±]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,})./i; $1)

For a value such as "Name [email protected] ", the capture group is the address and $1 makes replace() return only [email protected]. Insert replace from the Text and binary functions tab so data.from remains a mapped token. If the field editor keeps changing what you type, double-click the mapped value to edit the formula as plain text, then click outside the field when finished.

Make documents both regex search patterns and $1 capture-group replacements under replace(): Text and binary functions - Help Center

Plain-text editing for mapped formulas is documented here: Improved error handling and plain-text editing for mapped values - Help Center

Hey there,

can you use the code formatting option so the formula is directly copy/pasteable? Cause now its not.

[Stoyan_Vatov]

Your split() approach was also solid, but you botched the formula a bit:

{{get(split(first(split(2.data.from; ">")); "<"); 2)}}

This will take anything between < and >
