I am using Receive an email for broadcast. I want to send the user’s response path through the email so that it can be filtered in a Receive an email. I believe I should use the Parse function. How should I use it?
Parse Function, how use with receive an email

When you set the trigger up you are provided with an email address. You need to send a test email to this in the exact format that your Broadcast emails will follow:
For example:
Title: This is the title
Description: This is the description
Image URL: This is the image URL
The system will receive the message and then you can click next. This will show you the email that was received and you can set up placeholders for the sections you want to parse. In my example above I may highlight the words “This is the title”, a box will then appear and I could type “title” in this box. I might then also do the same for “This is the description” and “This is the image URL” calling these description and image in turn.
Once you have set up all the required placeholders, click next. You’ll be asked to send the email again and given the option to make sure the information has correctly parsed. If this is all showing correctly you can continue through the final trigger set up pages.
Once the setup is complete any email you send to that email address following the same template format will then be parsed and you can use the values in the placeholder variables in later actions.
Hope this helps.
