I just noticed Google started doing something like this. I got Google search results about purchases I'd made from Apple. They parsed a receipt from my Gmail account and displayed it in a card in my search results.
I was a bit taken aback by that.
- ma2rten 13y agoI remember, they also parsed my AirBnb reservation and rental car receipt from my email. They then showed it in Google Now on my mobile phone. However it wasn't very useful, they had some parsing error, iirc.
- est 13y agoIIRC, this is not parsing, there is a Gmail API mentioned during 2013 Google IO https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-cards https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-c... https://developers.google.com/gmail/actions/getting-started https://developers.google.com/gmail/actions/getting-started
- nl 13y agoThey do parsing as well. I forward all my work flight itineraries to Gmail (so I get Google Now notifications) after cut & pasting them out of the Word document I get them in. Gmail parses them and displays them using the "Flight details" format, even though there is none of the information required for the "Actions" thing linked above.
- recmend 13y agoGmail doesn't do any parsing, Gmail provides the SDK described here https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-cards https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/google-now-c... When developer / brands create emails following Gmail quick action guidelines, and you have Google Now enabled, then you will see Google Now cards.
