Imagine you’re an adventurer standing before a mountain, knowing it’s filled with hidden treasures. But you have no map, tools, or idea where to start digging. That’s precisely what organizations face today — an overwhelming mountain of email data. Companies have metrics like open and click-through rates, but that’s just scratching the surface. The real treasure is getting the most meaningful data: deep insights into customer behavior, preferences, and needs. On average, workers receive anywhere from 50 to 100 emails daily or even more. This mountain of data is an incredible source of information, and without the right tools, that data is never leveraged for decision-making, process optimization, and more.
Nylas doesn’t just give you a shovel; it gives you a state-of-the-art excavator to dig deep into your email data and build email parsing functionality. It extracts, filters, segments, and normalizes the data within emails, turning it into actionable, first-party data.
“With Nylas, a global Fintech company can extract and structure data from the more than 2 million transactions on their platform each day and create actionable workflows and experiences that drive ROI and customer satisfaction from a user base of global retail partners and consumers. Besides, we were able to implement a dramatically streamlined experience in two sprints with four engineers.”

Parsing and analyzing email data at the right time within the right context presents several challenges for engineering and product teams. Capturing unstructured data from attachments like images and PDFs, gathering current contact information from signature blocks, and wading through long email chains to find and present relevant details are just a few obstacles app builders must overcome.
Additional complexities include:
Nylas provides an API that enables developers to build email parsing capabilities, allowing for the extraction, management, and categorization of email data. This centralizes disparate data, offering a single source of truth for all email data your company needs to extract. Now, let’s delve into the specifics of how Nylas can be tailored and utilized to optimize data usage and enhance user understanding across different sectors:
Your data, your way: Nylas lets you customize what data you want to extract. You can decide what’s relevant: purchase history or customer interactions.
Fine-tune your universe: Once you get your data, Nylas categorizes it by date, amount, quality, and other specifications you identify.
Turn raw data into user behavior: Businesses can increase customer satisfaction and user adoption by understanding their users’ behavior. These are some examples of how specific industries can take advantage of it:
A leading global e-commerce firm decided to leverage the capabilities of Nylas in refining its operational strategy. They began by extracting crucial data points from emails, encompassing shipping tracking numbers, carrier names, merchant names, SKU numbers, and order totals. This data extraction allowed the company to introduce novel features like delivery tracking, which sends push notifications to users, showcasing the real-time location of their package.
The company gained a comprehensive, 360-degree view of real-time consumer buying behaviors using the insights derived from these data points. Consequently, this enriched understanding facilitated delivering tailor-made customer experiences to millions of users in real time. The results are astounding — a staggering 6x boost in the conversion rates for repurchases, alongside a doubling of their user base and a 4x increase in transactions compared to the previous year.
