I'm interested in automating some reactive work I do when receiving certain emails in one of my email accounts. What I would like to have happen is:
- On receipt of new email in the account
- If the new email passes the "Need to React" criteria (based on body content and subject line) 3a. Scrape some content out of the email body and subject lines 3b. Populate a template form (e.g. Excel spreadsheet) with the scraped data 3c. Print the populated form and save the populated form in some folder (e.g. as a pdf)
What's the best (defined as easiest to implement by myself) approach / combination of technologies for achieving this automation?
