Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers looking to automate email processing tasks.
- Data Analysts who need to extract domain information from email addresses for analysis.
- Business Professionals seeking to streamline communication by categorizing emails based on domains.
- Automation Enthusiasts wanting to learn about manual triggers in n8n workflows.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need to automatically extract the domain name from email addresses. This is particularly useful for:
- Data Cleaning: Ensuring that email data is standardized by separating the domain from the user part.
- Email Categorization: Allowing users to categorize or filter emails based on their domains for better management.
- Data Analysis: Providing insights into the distribution of emails from different domains.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks 'execute'. This initiates the process.
    2. Sample Email Node: A sample email ([email protected]) is set in the workflow. This serves as the input data for the next step.
    3. Extract Domain Name Node: The workflow then extracts the domain from the provided email address. The function code processes the email to separate the user part from the domain, resulting in the output { domain: 'domain2.com' }.
  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the Sample Email: Replace [email protected] with any desired email address to extract its domain.
    - Modifying the Function Code: Adjust the JavaScript function to include additional processing or different output formats as needed.
    - Adding More Nodes: Integrate further nodes to use the extracted domain for additional actions, such as sending notifications or storing the data in a database.
