ParseHook automatically converts emails into structured JSON data and delivers it via webhooks. No manual template configuration. No regex hell. Just forward emails and get clean data.

The Problem We're Solving

If you've ever tried to extract data from emails programmatically, you know the pain:

Zapier Email Parser requires 15-30 minutes of manual template setup per email type.
Mailparser breaks when vendors change their email format.
Custom scripts become unmaintainable regex nightmares within weeks.

We have been there. We spent hours building and maintaining email parsers for invoices, leads, and receipts. Every time a vendor changed their invoice template, our parsing broke.

The Solution: AI-Powered Parsing

ParseHook uses a proprietary Multi-Model AI Engine, dynamically routing each email to the optimal balance of speed, cost, and accuracy. No templates. No configuration.

Here's how it works:

You get a unique email address: abc123@parsehook.com
Forward any email to this address.
ParseHook's AI extracts structured data.
Clean JSON is sent to your webhook within 5 seconds.
Your app receives the data and processes it.

What We Parse

ParseHook handles 10+ email types out of the box:

Invoices: invoice_number, amount, vendor, due_date, line_items
Receipts: merchant, total, tax, items, payment_method
Leads: name, email, phone, company, message
Orders: order_number, items, quantities, delivery_date
Shipping: tracking_number, carrier, delivery_date
Payments: amount, payer, transaction_id, status
Support Tickets: customer_name, subject, priority
Alerts: severity, server_name, error_message

Real-World Example

Input Email (Invoice):

Subject: Invoice INV-2024-001 from Acme Corp

Dear Customer,

Please find your invoice for January 2024.

Invoice Number: INV-2024-001 Amount Due: $1,500.00 Due Date: February 15, 2024

Thank you for your business.

ParseHook Output (JSON):

{
  "type": "invoice",
  "invoice_number": "INV-2024-001",
  "vendor": "Acme Corp",
  "amount": 1500.00,
  "currency": "USD",
  "due_date": "2024-02-15",
  "received_at": "2024-01-15T14:23:00Z"
}

Your webhook receives this JSON and can immediately:

Save to QuickBooks/Xero
Add to Airtable/Notion
Trigger Slack notification
Update your custom system
