How can I pull the email address from the description of the ticket and use it in an automation

[Jay Rajaram]

We are using an email listener in an inbox to create tickets in JSD cloud.

When the ticket gets created ,the reporter is populated with the default reporter name we add during the set up of handler. 

The ticket description has the actual sender email address at the end like below:

[Created via e-mail received from: John Citizen <johncitizen@gmail.com>]

Is there any way to pull this email from the description and use in an automation rule.

please assist

Hi Jay,

you can use a regular expression to achieve this. How exactly do you want to use the E-Mail?

like, I want to get the email and write a rule to update the reporter field with this email

[Lisa Grau]

You very likely won't be able to update the reporter field with an e-mail adress. The reporter needs the unique accountId to be mapped.

Thanks Lisa. 

Any help on the expression to get the email address from description will be much appreciated. Cheers

[Jay Rajaram]

if adding the email to reporter is not possible,we want to send an email back to that address acknowledging the receipt of the ticket.
