How can I break up an event snippet into different columns in Google Sheets using the Gmail app as a trigger?

Help
21

I apologize for the formatting issues in the code you provided. Here’s the corrected version of the code: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const snippet = steps.trigger.event.snippet; if (!snippet) { console.error(“Snippet is undefined or missing”); return; } const nameRegex = /Name\s(.?)\sEmail/; const question1Regex = /Have you ever owned a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/; const question2Regex = /Do you prefer a male or female puppy?\s(.?)\sAre/; const question3Regex = /Are you willing to walk with the dog regularly?\s(.?)\sDoes/; const nameMatch = snippet.match(nameRegex); const question1Match = snippet.match(question1Regex); const question2Match = snippet.match(question2Regex); const question3Match = snippet.match(question3Regex); if (!nameMatch || !question1Match || !question2Match || !question3Match) { console.error(“One or more matches are missing or undefined”); return; } const name = nameMatch[1]; const question1 = question1Match[1]; const question2 = question2Match[1]; const question3 = question3Match[1]; return { name, question1, question2, question3 }; }, });

22

It worked! Can you expand on this to include all questions?

  1. Name
  2. Email
  3. Phone Number
  4. Have you ever owned a dog?
  5. Do you prefer a male or female puppy?
  6. Are you willing to walk with the dog regularly?
  7. Does anyone in your immediate family have allergies to dogs?
  8. Are you aware of the costs associated with keeping a dog?
  9. Do you have a fenced backyard?
  10. Do you have parks near your home?
  11. When would you like to adopt a puppy?
  12. On average, how many hours per day will the puppy be left alone?
  13. How did you find out about us?
  14. Comments or questions you have for us
23

I’m glad the previous code worked for you! Here’s an updated version that includes all the questions you mentioned: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const snippet = steps.trigger.event.snippet; if (!snippet) { console.error(“Snippet is undefined or missing”); return; } const regexes = { name: /Name\s(.?)\sEmail/, email: /Email\s(.?)\sPhone/, phoneNumber: /Phone Number\s(.?)\sHave/, question1: /Have you ever owned a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/, question2: /Do you prefer a male or female puppy?\s(.?)\sAre/, question3: /Are you willing to walk with the dog regularly?\s(.?)\sDoes/, question4: /Does anyone in your immediate family have allergies to dogs?\s(.?)\sAre/, question5: /Are you aware of the costs associated with keeping a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/, question6: /Do you have a fenced backyard?\s(.?)\sDo/, question7: /Do you have parks near your home?\s(.?)\sWhen/, question8: /When would you like to adopt a puppy?\s(.?)\sOn/, question9: /On average, how many hours per day will the puppy be left alone?\s(.?)\sHow/, question10: /How did you find out about us?\s(.?)\sComments/, question11: /Comments or questions you have for us\s(.?)$/, }; const results = {}; for (const key in regexes) { const match = snippet.match(regexes[key]); if (!match) { console.error(Match for ${key} is missing or undefined); return; } results[key] = match[1]; } return results; }, });

24

It didn’t work. I got this error: Match for question4 is missing or undefined

25

I apologize for the issue you encountered. It’s possible that the regular expression for question4 didn’t match the expected text pattern in the snippet. To help me better understand the problem, could you please provide the text snippet you’re using? This will allow me to adjust the regular expressions accordingly and ensure they match the correct patterns in your snippet.

27

I apologize for the previous issue. I’ve updated the regular expressions to better match the provided text snippet: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const snippet = steps.trigger.event.snippet; if (!snippet) { console.error(“Snippet is undefined or missing”); return; } const regexes = { name: /Name\s(.?)\sEmail/, email: /Email\s[.?](mailto:(.?))/, phoneNumber: /Phone Number\s(.?)\sHave/, question1: /Have you ever owned a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/, question2: /Do you prefer a male or female puppy?\s(.?)\sAre/, question3: /Are you willing to walk with the dog regularly?\s(.?)\sDoes/, question4: /Does anyone in your immediate family have allergies to dogs?\s(.?)\sAre/, question5: /Are you aware of the costs associated with keeping a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/, question6: /Do you have a fenced backyard?\s(.?)\sDo/, question7: /Do you have parks near your home?\s(.?)\sWhen/, question8: /When would you like to adopt a puppy?\s(.?)\sOn/, question9: /On average, how many hours per day will the puppy be left alone?\s(.?)\sHow/, question10: /How did you find out about us?\s(.?)\sComments/, question11: /Comments or questions you have for us\s(.*?)$/, }; const results = {}; for (const key in regexes) { const match = snippet.match(regexes[key]); if (!match) { console.error(Match for ${key} is missing or undefined); return; } results[key] = match[1]; } return results; }, });

28

this doesn’t work. Can you continue adding to this code please?

export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps }) {
const snippet = steps.trigger.event.snippet;

**if** (!snippet) {
  console.error(“Snippet is undefined or missing”);
  **return**;
}

**const** nameRegex = /Name\s(.**?)\sEmail/;
**const** emailRegex = /Email\s(.**?)\sPhone/;
**const** phoneRegex = /Phone Number\s(.**?)\sHave/;
**const** owned_dogRegex = /Have you ever owned a dog\?\s(.**?)\sDo/;
**const** male_femaleRegex = /Do you prefer a male or female puppy\?\s(.**?)\sAre/;
**const** walkRegex = /Are you willing to walk with the dog regularly\?\s(.**?)\sDoes/;

**const** nameMatch = snippet.match(nameRegex);
**const** emailMatch = snippet.match(emailRegex);
**const** phoneMatch = snippet.match(phoneRegex);
**const** owned_dogMatch = snippet.match(owned_dogRegex);
**const** male_femaleMatch = snippet.match(male_femaleRegex);
**const** walkMatch = snippet.match(walkRegex);


**if** (!nameMatch || !emailMatch || !phoneMatch || !owned_dogMatch || !male_femaleMatch || !walkMatch ) {
  console.error(“One or more matches are missing or undefined”);
  **return**;
}

**const** name = nameMatch[1];
**const** email = emailMatch[1];
**const** phone = phoneMatch[1];
**const** owned_dog = owned_dogMatch[1];
**const** male_female = male_femaleMatch[1];
**const** walk = walkMatch[1];


**return** { name, email, phone, owned_dog, male_female, walk };

},
});

I apologize for any confusion. I see that you have already extracted some information from the snippet. I’ll continue adding the remaining regular expressions and matches to the code: ``` export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const snippet = steps.trigger.event.snippet; if (!snippet) { console.error(“Snippet is undefined or missing”); return; } const allergiesRegex = /Does anyone in your immediate family have allergies to dogs?\s(.?)\sAre/; const costsAwareRegex = /Are you aware of the costs associated with keeping a dog?\s(.?)\sDo/; const fencedBackyardRegex = /Do you have a fenced backyard?\s(.?)\sDo/; const parksNearbyRegex = /Do you have parks near your home?\s(.?)\sWhen/; const adoptionTimeRegex = /When would you like to adopt a puppy?\s(.?)\sOn/; const aloneHoursRegex = /On average, how many hours per day will the puppy be left alone?\s(.?)\sHow/; const findUsRegex = /How did you find out about us?\s(.?)\sComments/; const commentsRegex = /Comments or questions you have for us\s(.?)$/; const allergiesMatch = snippet.match(allergiesRegex); const costsAwareMatch = snippet.match(costsAwareRegex); const fencedBackyardMatch = snippet.match(fencedBackyardRegex); const parksNearbyMatch = snippet.match(parksNearbyRegex); const adoptionTimeMatch = snippet.match(adoptionTimeRegex); const aloneHoursMatch = snippet.match(aloneHoursRegex); const findUsMatch = snippet.match(findUsRegex); const commentsMatch = snippet.match(commentsRegex); if (!allergiesMatch || !costsAwareMatch || !fencedBackyardMatch || !parksNearbyMatch || !adoptionTimeMatch || !aloneHoursMatch || !findUsMatch || !commentsMatch) { console.error(“One or more matches are missing or undefined”); return; } const allergies = allergiesMatch[1]; const costsAware = costsAwareMatch[1]; const fencedBackyard = fencedBackyardMatch[1]; const parksNearby = parksNearbyMatch[1]; const adoptionTime = adoptionTimeMatch[1

I think I understand where the problem is. In the trigger, why does the snippet not have the entire content of my emails? It cuts off

31

It’s possible that the email content is being truncated or not fully captured by the trigger. To better understand the issue, please make sure you’ve configured the New Email trigger correctly: 1. Search for the Email app from the trigger menu 2. Select the New Email trigger 3. Connect your Email account 4. Follow the instructions on the trigger configuration screen. You may need to generate a test event from Email to get real data to test your workflow. If you’re still experiencing issues with the email content, please visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.

32

Yes, I did everything correctly. In the trigger, in this path: steps.trigger.event.snippet
only half the content is being returned. Why?

33

I apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing. It’s possible that the email content is being truncated or not fully captured by the trigger. To help you further, I would need more information about your specific setup and the email content. In the meantime, you can visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.

34

198 characters out of the available 600 characters in the email are being returned in the value for steps.trigger.event.snippet.
Is there a limit to the snippet?

35

I apologize for the confusion earlier. The steps.trigger.event.snippet indeed contains a truncated version of the email content. It’s designed to provide a brief preview of the email rather than the full content. If you need to access the full content of the email, you can use steps.trigger.event.body.text for the plain text version or steps.trigger.event.body.html for the HTML version.

36

Great! Where is steps.trigger.event.body.text located?

37

steps.trigger.event.body.text is located within the steps object passed to the run method of your Pipedream component. You can access it like this: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const emailBodyText = steps.trigger.event.body.text; // Your code to process the email body text }, });

38

I get this error: TypeError
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘text’)

39

I apologize for the confusion. It seems like the steps.trigger.event.body might be undefined, causing the error when trying to access the text property. To avoid this issue, you can add a conditional check before accessing the text property: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { if (steps.trigger.event.body && steps.trigger.event.body.text) { const emailBodyText = steps.trigger.event.body.text; // Your code to process the email body text } else { console.log("Email body text is not available."); } }, }); This will ensure that you only access the text property when steps.trigger.event.body is defined. If the issue persists, please provide more information about your specific setup and email content, or visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.

I get a log: Email body text is not available.
