Email reader
Add contacts by sending an email that Amazeful reads and extracts details from.
Our email reader has two options:
- Contact extract
- Attached file (coming soon)
Sending emails
To send an email to us for extraction, you can include the provided email address in the following fields:

Contact extract
Contact extract will read contact information from the body content of the email.
All key-value pairs must be stored in square brackets separated by a colon.
Example usage:
[first_name: John]
[last_name: Smith]
[email: johnsmith@example.com]
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
REQUIRED first_name |
The contact's first name. |
OPTIONAL last_name |
The contact's last name. |
REQUIRED (optional when phone is present) |
The contact's email address. |
REQUIRED (optional when email is present) phone |

Aliases
Aliases allow you to replace the keys used by the platform with more visibly friendly alternatives.
When using a key whose value is 2 or more keys, the platform will break on the space character.
For example:
- [Name: John Smith] = (first_name = John) + (last_name = Smith)
- [Name: John Roger Smith] = (first_name = John) + (last_name = Roger Smith)
Example usage:
[Name: John Smith]
[Email: johnsmith@example.com]
| Key | Parent key |
|---|---|
| First name, Business | first_name |
| Last name, Surname | last_name |
| Phone, Mobile | phone |
| Name | first_name last_name |
Considerations
- If you have the same key and/or a corresponding alias key, then only the first value will be taken. To avoid unwanted outcomes, please ensure each key is included only once.
