  • Select Email to app and choose between:

    • Private email address to create records with you as the author

    • Public email address to create records with the app as the author

Use market-standard web forms

Transfer data by email. Tape will map your email body value to fields in the app if it follows the following structure:

The specific field name: value

Make sure to include the colon and the space after the colon. This is how the data is correctly assigned.

For example, with Email to app, you can use market-standard web forms. This feature offers countless opportunities for integrations with other systems that can send emails. Tape uses this on the website for contacts.

How the email body looks like:

Name: value

This brings the data to Tape in a structured way and we can continue working on the data.
