The problem it solves

Your website sends form submissions as plain email text, but pulling out the name, email, and message from each one by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong. If you want that information in a spreadsheet or another tool, you end up copying and pasting it manually every time. It's a small task that adds up over dozens of submissions.

Who it fits

A business that receives website form submissions by email and wants that data usable elsewhere.

How it works

  1. An email arrives containing labeled fields like Name, Email, and Message
  2. You tell the system which labels to look for
  3. It scans the email body and matches each label to its value
  4. The result comes back as clean, structured data ready to use
What you get

Form fields split out cleanly every time

You get every form submission split into clean, labeled fields ready to drop straight into your other tools.

What you get

A structured record with each piece of information from the email sorted into its own labeled field.

What you need

An email account that receives the form submissions.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
