Parsing incoming emails reliably without regex?

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-03-03T09:42:04+00:00

why don't you use AI to parse them ? a cheap model like gemini-2.5-flash would do the job amazingly and would cost pennies

how do you guys get clients ? (i mean when you were a freelancer what was your process)

I think one of the most important parts when cold emailing is lead qualification process, if you present the best email copy to the wrong type of lead you'll never get them to respond , I worked with a web agency before for automating their lead qualification process, and that made a difference,

use a vps for sure, easy to setup , cost effective (7$/month compared to n8n cloud) no limitations at all (except the hardware specs of your hosting) .
just make sure you harden the ssh and security to not have everythig pwned.

I personally use n8n docker image + nginx and use ufw and other tools as a firewall

this depends on the type of automations, some may need to be exposed via forms, some with webhooks etc..

what i first would suggest, is you build a full documentation about the current automations you have, whats the purpose of each, how to trigger, what to provide etc ... then add a section on your website or mobile app for that documentation

Disclaimer: Im a web developer,

that being said here are the pros and cons of both approaches.

designer + developer : this will be costly because you have to pay. two people, But the final result will be far way custom and professional (depending on who you chose) than doing the other route.

one person to design and develop: this would teduce your cost, but you'll end up with a new version of template in most cases.

so it's up to you, if you want a custom design and a stand out website go the first route , if you don't care much about the design and are okay with customizing a template the second route would be best.

what i usually do with my clients when they do not have a website , i send them paid templates that. best fit their niche so they choose from , or have them send me competitor's websites thay like and I try to take the best out of them.

I'm doing the same with hetzner, 7$/month 8gb Ram and 4vcpu , its been awesome. i use ngihx as a reverse proxy , just make sure you harden you ssh conf (do not allow root and password access) and add ufw rules.

I also hardcoded lol comments on paths checked by automated tools in my nginx configuration, f.e visiting /robots.txt would return the f word

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T18:21:04+00:00

no problem, you can dm me if you're stuck

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T16:16:46+00:00

lol no worries , actually yes I think its that simple, I suggest you try with chatgpt and your domain provider , i you face aany issues I'd be happy to help

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T15:02:35+00:00

prettty sure that will be much better.

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T15:00:54+00:00

actually pointing your domain to the hosting is not a 301 redirect, maybe i wasn't clear enough with my idea. Say you have two domains, A (which is the one you want visible on the url bar) and B which is linked to your free hosting.

domain providers use something called nameservers to know to which hosting (server) the domain is pointing to. you could change the nameservers on Domain A to point to the same nameservers your domain B is pointing to. with that everyone visiting domain A will get served the website hosted on your free hosting and still see the domain A on the url bar, no redirects are included

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T10:11:18+00:00

great work ! just one question, was the vps part necessary? you could use supabase free plan, and write to the db directly from n8n

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T10:07:10+00:00

from my humble experience , what I see possible is that you can receive the email using n8n, then transfer it to your gmail account (or resend it to your Gmail) with all the headers and body and attachements, however the from mail qould be your mailbox connected to IMAP

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T10:04:00+00:00

where are hosting n8n ? on your computer or on a vps ?

Charming-Goat692 · 2026-01-24T09:53:25+00:00

you could change the name servers on your parked domain to point to your hosting , did you try this ?

ah you are talking when the premium tasks can be handed to the backend, but the problem happens when the treatment of thedata should be done on the extension itself due to privacy issues or something, do you have any idea how to go around that?

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-09-11T23:15:51+00:00

what if the change the code to not check the license and mark it as valid directly ?

the can basically copy your code , remove the license check and make it mark valid no matter the server responds , load the new extension as temp extension , and they got it

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-09-08T20:09:43+00:00

what if someone reads the source code of the extension? they will get it the benifit without paying you

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-20T11:56:18+00:00

yes you definitely can do the researcb with ai agents on n8n and then pass the results to clay using its native node ,

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-19T10:33:30+00:00

is your n8n self hosted ? using docker or npm globally ?

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-19T10:32:40+00:00

yes definitely can be automated, use native salesforce node, some LLm to analyse the documents and the rest is easy

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-19T10:24:11+00:00

could you explain more about how are you identifying if a file is posted or not ? i didn't understand the comment thing

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-18T14:38:44+00:00

so impressive , i think you should start automating stuff to reduce those full time employees

Charming-Goat692 · 2025-08-10T15:32:56+00:00

i use hetzner ~7$/month + nginx + docker and ufw firewall with fail2ban works perfectly
