Connect Mailparser and Airtable

Mailparser pulls structured data out of emails such as orders, leads from listing portals and shipping notices. Airtable is a natural place to keep it. FlowMattic sends each parsed result to Airtable from your WordPress site, as one record per email or per row, with dates cleaned, junk filtered out and long text summarised. It suits operations teams who process the same kinds of emails every day.

When Mailparser fires New Email Parsed (Per Row), FlowMattic runs Create Record in Airtable with the data from that event.

Mailparser and Airtable workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Save each parsed row as an Airtable record

When a parsed email holds a table, such as items on a purchase order, every row becomes its own record, ready to sort and count in Airtable.

Create one record per email for leads and enquiries

Lead emails from directories or booking sites usually hold one person each. The per-email trigger gives one Airtable record with name, phone and message.

Store an order and its line items in linked tables

The email becomes an Orders record, then an Iterator walks through the parsed items and creates a linked record for each in a Line items table.

Keep only emails from the suppliers you track

A Filter checks the sender or a parsed field such as supplier name, so newsletters and replies that slip into the parsing inbox never reach the base.

Clean dates and amounts before they reach Airtable

Emails write dates and prices in many styles. Date/Time Formatter and Number Formatter turn them into one format, so Airtable date and currency fields accept them.

Summarise and score parsed leads with AI

An AI Agent reads the parsed message, writes a one-line summary and a priority, and both are saved with the record, so the team calls the best leads first.

Set up: parsed rows saved as records

When you finish, each row Mailparser extracts from an email is saved as a record in your Airtable table.

  1. Build the table

    Create an Airtable table with fields that match your parsing rules, such as Item, Quantity, Price and Order number.

  2. Connect both accounts

    Add Mailparser and Airtable under Connects in FlowMattic.

  3. Choose the trigger

    Start a workflow with New Email Parsed (Per Row), pick the Mailparser inbox and forward a sample email so FlowMattic captures parsed data.

  4. Map Create Record

    Add Create Record, choose the base and table, map each parsed field to its Airtable field, test and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Pick either the per-row or the per-email trigger for an inbox. Running both on the same inbox creates two sets of records.
  • The fields you can map come from your Mailparser parsing rules, so the mapping above is an example.
  • Airtable's Update Record and Get Record need a record ID, and there is no search action here, so these workflows create records rather than update matching ones.
  • The workflows on this page run from Mailparser into Airtable, so Airtable's New Record trigger does not send anything back to Mailparser.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Mailparser and Airtable connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Emails become data you can use

Parsed fields land in typed Airtable fields, so orders and leads can be grouped, filtered and linked rather than read one by one.

Runs on your own server

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site, so parsed email data goes from Mailparser to Airtable without a third service storing it.

Volume costs nothing extra

Runs are unlimited on every plan, so an inbox that receives hundreds of orders a day needs no larger plan.

Common questions

How does the Mailparser Airtable integration work?

Mailparser extracts fields from emails sent to your parsing inbox. FlowMattic's Mailparser trigger receives each result and Create Record saves it in the Airtable table you pick, with each parsed field mapped to an Airtable field.

Should I use the per-row or per-email trigger?

Use per row when one email holds a table and each line should be a record. Use per email when each email is one thing, such as one lead or one shipping notice.

Can I update an existing Airtable record from a later email?

Only if the workflow knows the record ID. Without a search step, it is simpler to create a new record for each email and link or roll them up in Airtable.

Can I send myself an alert as well?

Yes. Add an Email (SMTP) step after Create Record, or add the alert to only the records that pass a Filter, such as orders above a value.
