Why Automate Data Extraction from Emails with Bright Analytics?

Managing data that arrives via email presents a range of challenges, including:

  • Inconsistent formats – Data can be found in attachments, inline content, or as links to external files.
  • Inbox monitoring complexity – Connecting to inboxes and scanning for relevant emails requires secure, scalable automation.
  • Manual processing inefficiencies – Extracting and normalising data manually is time-consuming and error-prone.

By integrating email-based data ingestion with Bright Analytics, you can:

  • Automate the detection and extraction of data from emails in real time.
  • Process attachments, embedded tables, and linked data files seamlessly.
  • Standardise and transform extracted data to align with your analytics workflows.

What Data Can You Extract?

Our integration can process a variety of data formats commonly sent via email, including:

  • CSV, Excel, and PDF attachments containing structured reports.
  • Inline tabular data embedded in the email body.
  • Links to external storage locations hosting downloadable data files.
  • JSON, XML, and other machine-readable formats.

We also apply enrichment and validation processes to ensure accuracy and usability within your reporting environment.
