Auto extract/export contacts from emails in email module

Auto extract/export contacts from emails in email module

Develop a plugin/add-on to extract contact information from email addresses in previous emails and automatically populate/update contact information in contact module or export as CSV.

This is an ideal opportunity for the developer to resell this product.

We are happy to provide free requirements/testing advice/services as necessary but are not in a position to finance or resell.

Outline Requirements

  1. For each email in Zoho email module
    • extract the from, to & cc email addresses.
    • create a new temporary contact field for the source of the contact information,
      e.g. "From" "To" "CC from "
  2.      For each email address

    • extract the first and lastname using common naming conventions,
      e.g. "firstname lastname" "lastname, firstname" etc
    • create a new temporary contact field with the extraction status
      e.g. "OK" = extracted ok "Error" = could not extract all information (e.g. "jbloggs") etc

Update contact information as follows:-

  • If a contact with the same first and last name exists but with a different email address then ???
  • If the contact isn't found from the first, lastname or email address then create a new contact and populate the extracted/calculate fields above

Provide a facility to export the above information as a CSV.
