Q: Help with Apple Mail data detectors
Hi all,
I have an online form where people input events, and the data gets sent to me via email.
I use Apple Mail and want to setup the received emails in such a way that when I receive them, I can use data detectors to add the event to iCal with all the data elements, with minimal or no input.
I assume that a lot of it has to do with the location, order, and wording of the data elements.
The data elements are:
- Event Title
- Address
- Event Time
- Event Date
- Notes
The data detector easily detects the address, date, and time, but it is not detecting the email Subject Line as the Event Title.
Also, if I try to do the same via iOS version of Apple Mail, the same email detects the time, date and notes, but it does not detect the title or address.
How would I have to arrange or word the received emails to capture all the data via data detectors? Is this possible without scripts & macros?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
