About
Pick From Text finds emails, phone numbers, or money amounts in a document, then picks the one that answers your question.
The value it returns is an exact copy of something already in the text. It will not invent a new address or change a digit. You can also pass your own list of candidates. It only chooses among those, or none.
Use this when a thread or invoice has several lookalike values and you need the right one.
What you can do
- select the receipt email when several addresses sit in a thread
- select the mobile number versus a fax or switchboard
- select the invoice total versus tax, subtotal, or a credit
Who it's for
Anyone pulling a field from mail, invoices, or tickets that already contain several similar values.
How to use it
- Set kind to email, phone, or money, or pass candidates yourself
- Ask which one you want (receipt, mobile, total due)
- Copy
valueexactly and clean it up in code if needed
Getting started
Pass a thread that names a personal Gmail for the receipt. The pick should be that address, not the billing alias.
Pick the email, phone, amount, or candidate that answers your question. Returns an exact copy, not a made-up string.
