Extract the username from an email in RunMacro
What it does
The Extract Email Username command reads the email in the clipboard, takes the part before @ (the username), and writes the result back to the clipboard. E.g. user@gmail.com → user.
When to use it
- Generate usernames from a list of emails.
- Process bulk email data in a sign-up workflow.
- Take the name part to fill a "username" field.
Configuration steps
- Put the email in the clipboard (Copy Text from the email field, or Set Clipboard).
- Add a Keyboard › Extract Email Username command.
- Save. After running, the clipboard holds the username; use Paste from Clipboard to fill it.
Real example
Example: fill a username from an email
- Set Clipboard =
john@gmail.com. - Extract Email Username → clipboard becomes
john. - Click the username field, Paste from Clipboard.
Tips & common mistakes
If the clipboard has no
@, the command leaves the content as-is and logs a note.
