Format & Filter HAROs

Hoping to create an Active Piece system that can filter and organize text from HAROs, just like i have managed to set up for Zapier.

For those you don’t know, HAROs are an email you get from journalists every day with requests. It looks a bit like this (these are just a few in a list of hundreds)

What I want to do is have ActivePieces is to format and split up all this text into:
Subject
Category
Journalist
Outlet
Email
DueDate
Query
Requirements

And then upload all ones that have “pet” in the subject or query, and upload those to a spreadsheet.

I have the Zap step screenshots I use here: Zapier HARO Uploads - Google Drive

Would love to switch away from Zapier to ActivePieces for this!

I am not currently doing that in AP, as I am not aware of a tool, that can specifically grab information like that in AP. However, I do actively use openrouter, and ask it to filter information, each in insular steps.

I’d be happy to help you if you wanted to try.

Interestingly, we may be able to actually build responses as well, of which you would have to approve.

Id’d definitely be open to trying OpenRouter if you have some ideas!

reach out to me on telegram or discord by the same name, and I can try to help

Hi @mmarrs Is it appropriate to suggest doing this with ChatGPT? We have this as a piece with all models available.

I tested out the capability, posted 12 HARO items from my email to ChatGPT and prompted it like this:

turn the following HARO items into a JSON array, for each item include the following props:
Subject
Category
Journalist
Outlet
Email
DueDate
Query
Requirements

And the result was:

If this looks like something you’d like to consider, I can help you out with it.
