How to identify, isolate, and output a URL from GMail to Monday.com

Questions & Answers

Hello,

I feel as if this may be a simple question, but I have struggled to get this to work for me. I am looking to identify, isolate, and output a URL within the body of a received email. I have attempted to use Text Parser for this task, and have been unsuccessful.

Currently, my scenario is simply Gmail → Switch → Monday.com where the Switch tool is simply identifying a keyword in the body of the email (support representative email address) and then outputting the Monday.com User ID so that I can then map the correct Owner assignment into Monday on item creation.

There is also a URL Link in the body of these emails that I would like to extract and have populate a simple text column in Monday. I don’t need to transform the url or output something different, I simply need to extract the url from a large body of text and then output it into a monday column of my choosing.

Thanks!

Hey,

the easiest way to this is: Regular Expression.

You can use regex101.com (https://regex101.com/) to create and test your regular expression on your specific body of text.

The text parser module will help you extract the specific information so you can request a file or page via the HTTP module. Here is the link to the documentation: https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/text-parser

Cheers,
Chris
