I am trying to analyze my incoming email, pass the body content to ChatGPT with a prompt to create tasks and pass that back to MS To Do. I am using the watch messages module and getting a result, however the body content is a HTML string and I just want the text. I have tried using a text parser module with no luck. I need to just extract the text content and pass that to the Open AI API with a prompt. Any Thoughts?
Hi Chris, from your screenshot, You are using the correct modules and this should work, could you share more screenshots of the HTML content from outlook and the result when you parsed with “HTML to text”. You can blur out confidential info if need be.
Your text parser is showing your HTML input as empty, that means you are not correctly passing the content to the text parser.
Lets how you pass the content
should like this
Welcome to the Make community!
You will need to run the FULL scenario using the “Run Once” button, not just run the individual modules.
Polling Triggers: Epoch Panel & Selecting Older Data
Go to the Epoch Panel, by right-clicking on the trigger module (polling triggers only), and select “Choose where to start” from the list of options in the context menu.
If you select “From now on”, the next time the scenario runs it will only return new data (or nothing if there is no new data).
You can also select other old data to re-run your scenario with next using the “Choose manually” option. This will then show you a list of previous historical items you can select to process the next time the scenario is triggered.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I ran the complete scenario and found the selected data is only a part of what would be expected
This is the actual email body I would have expected to be parsed
And I am still getting an invalid parameter message for the ChatGPT module
I had an incorrect variable in the chatgpt module and fixed the mapping to grab the text from the parser but it is still not getting a response from chatgpt - bundlevalidation error
