Airparser Overview#

The Airparser API simplifies the process of extracting data from emails, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, or any structured email content. By transforming emails into structured data, it enables seamless integration of email data into various workflows. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create automations that act on the parsed data—like updating databases, triggering notifications, or integrating with other apps and services.
