Features

Everything you need to convert emails to CSV

No templates. No rules to write. No per-sender configuration.

Forward emails or connect your inbox

Forward individual emails to a dedicated parsing address, or connect Gmail or Outlook so every incoming message is converted automatically. Works with order confirmations, invoices, receipts, shipping notifications, lead alerts, and any email containing structured data — HTML, plain text, or with attachments.

AI extracts the fields you need

Layout-agnostic AI reads each email the way a person does — understanding structure, context, and field labels. It pulls sender, reference numbers, dates, line items, and amounts into consistent columns without configuration. AI columns let you define custom fields in plain English, and attachments like PDF invoices are parsed with the same engine.

Clean CSV output, every time

Download a consolidated CSV where every email is a row with consistent columns — ready for Excel, accounting software, or database import. Also exports to Excel (.xlsx), Google Sheets, JSON, and XML. Retrieve structured data via the REST API or push it downstream with the Power Automate connector.

Case study

From manual copy-paste to automated CSV export in one afternoon

“We eliminated 30 hours of weekly manual data entry. Every order confirmation and invoice email now lands in one clean CSV, and our team focuses on analysis instead of copying data out of emails.”

An operations team processing over 600 emails per week eliminated their manual extraction backlog within one day of switching to EmailToCSV.com.

What operations teams are saying

“We get order emails from over 150 vendors in completely different formats. The converter handles all of them without any setup. We forward emails and get clean CSV rows back every time.”

“The accuracy is what sold us. Other tools missed line items and broke whenever a vendor changed their email template. This one handles format changes automatically and the CSV columns stay consistent.”

How AI email to CSV conversion works

Last updated: September 2026

Business emails hold valuable structured data locked inside unstructured formats. Order confirmations carry order numbers, line items, and totals distributed across HTML templates. Invoice notifications embed amounts, due dates, and vendor details in layouts that vary from sender to sender. Getting that data into a CSV file by hand means reading each email, locating the relevant fields, and copying values cell by cell — a process that consumes minutes per email and hours per day at volume.

Conventional approaches tackled this with rules. You authored parsing instructions for each email format: “the order number appears on line 3,” “the total follows the word Total:,” “line items reside in the HTML table.” These rules functioned for particular senders but broke whenever a sender revised their template, introduced new fields, or rearranged their layout. Teams receiving emails from dozens of vendors found themselves maintaining hundreds of parsing rules and rebuilding them after every template change.

Template-based tools improved reliability by letting users map fields visually on a sample email. You highlighted the order number, the total, and the line items, and the system extracted from those positions on matching emails. This served organizations with a small number of stable email formats, but each new sender demanded a new template, and template maintenance scaled linearly with the number of email sources.

Layout-agnostic AI is the current generation of email to CSV conversion. These systems use large language models that understand email content the way a person does — interpreting context, structure, field labels, and semantic meaning. The AI locates data fields, interprets their values, and manages format variations between senders automatically. No template needs to be configured and no rules need to be written. A new email format converts correctly on the very first message.

EmailToCSV.com uses this layout-agnostic approach, powered by Lido, to convert any email containing business data into clean CSV rows. The same engine processes attachments, so a PDF invoice attached to an email lands in the same CSV as the email data itself. Output can also be exported to Excel, Google Sheets, JSON, or XML, and recurring emails can be converted automatically as they arrive.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an email to CSV?

Forward the email to a parsing inbox or connect your Gmail or Outlook account to an AI-powered tool like Lido. The AI reads the email body and any attachments, extracts the data fields, and writes them as structured CSV columns. Unlike copy-paste or rule-based parsers, Lido’s layout-agnostic AI identifies fields like sender, reference numbers, dates, line items, and amounts automatically — no templates or configuration required. The conversion takes seconds per email.

Can email attachments be converted to CSV too?

Yes. Emails with PDF, Excel, or CSV attachments are processed with the same AI engine. The tool extracts structured data from both the email body and the attachments into a single unified CSV output. A PDF invoice attached to an email is converted with the same accuracy as data in the email body itself, so you do not need a separate workflow for attachments.

Can I combine multiple emails into one CSV file?

Yes. Each converted email becomes a row (or set of rows for line items) in a consolidated CSV file with consistent columns. You can forward hundreds of emails — even from different senders in different formats — and receive one clean CSV where every row follows the same structure. This makes the output ready for Excel, accounting software, or database import without manual cleanup.

What types of emails can be converted to CSV?

Any email containing structured or semi-structured data can be converted: order confirmations, invoices, receipts, shipping notifications, booking confirmations, lead notifications, form submissions, payment alerts, and recurring reports. The AI handles HTML emails, plain text messages, and emails with attachments, processing any format from the first message without templates.

How accurate is AI email to CSV conversion?

Layout-agnostic AI matches or exceeds manual data entry accuracy while converting emails in seconds instead of minutes. Every extracted field receives a confidence score, so low-confidence values can be flagged for review while high-confidence rows flow straight into your CSV. Organizations typically see error rates drop by 80-90% after switching from manual copy-paste to AI conversion.

Can email to CSV conversion run automatically?

Yes. Connect a dedicated email address or set up auto-forwarding, and every incoming email is converted to CSV rows without manual intervention. This is ideal for recurring emails like daily order summaries, vendor invoices, or lead notifications. Lido supports automation through Gmail, Outlook, and email forwarding, delivering structured data to your preferred destination as messages arrive.

What output formats are available besides CSV?

In addition to CSV, converted email data can be exported to Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), Google Sheets, JSON, and XML. A REST API returns structured JSON with confidence scores for each field, and a Power Automate connector is available for no-code workflow integration with downstream systems.
