Summary

In this chapter, we introduced you to a few more of Zapier's range of built-in apps. We covered how to extract data from emails using Email Parser by Zapier, and then we explored how to use RSS feed readers in your automations using RSS by Zapier. Then, we discussed how to compile data digests with Digest by Zapier. Lastly, we covered an exercise to create a digest of an RSS feed.

You now know how to extract or parse data from emails, use RSS feeds in your automations, and collate data into digests.

In the next chapter, you will learn about a variety of Zapier's other built-in apps. We will cover how to initiate one-off automation from any page on the internet, how to shorten URLs, and how to translate and detect text in different languages. We will also discuss how to retrieve and score a lead's company information, how to use data on weather conditions, and how to use astrological predictions in your automations.
