Display an informative and helpful profile when companies email me

I get notification emails from service@linode.com, notifications from noreply@ebay.com, marketing emails from info@tripbod.com, invoices from support@tunnlr.com

Rapportive should be able to detect non-human From addresses and provide an appropriate panel of information and links.

Information could be as simple as company data (from linked in or companies house).

Links should be something like the google "site links" for the company's domain name, or the most common links on a company's website. Ideally these will be influenced by my browser history so that the links I click on most have highest prominence. (eg. the "my account" link for a site, or "managing server db1" for another site).

When you read an email from a company address or automated system, we’ll now show you a summary of what the company is about, and some useful links for interacting with that company, such as their blog or support site.

The company profiles and links are extracted automatically from the companies’ websites, and our algorithms aren’t perfect. If you see something that looks odd, or could be more helpful, please do email us at support@rapportive.com with the email address you received the message from. That will help us to keep tweaking our algorithms and be useful in more cases.

Thanks for all your suggestions and examples in the comments – they were invaluable in getting this to work.

    This week my name is "Justin Kwee | Senior Class Project" and my description is "Overview: The year is 2076. The village of Zaelas is in turmoil. Resources are scarce and the village is on the brink of civil war. The people have lived under the insidious rule of a monarch for many decades, …"

    At least it's better than last week. Keep up the good work. Hmm, I wonder if next week I could be Edward Snowden?

    and fyi, my previous comment follows two unsuccessful attempts to have you change the information over the last few months.

    Shoot, like the service but still getting inaccurate information for own my profile. It lists a company I've never heard. Am I the only one?

    Would it make more sense to show anything besides inaccurate information? In my case, if you're showing the inaccurate information to people viewing my profile, you're potentially showing them a competitor's company name for my profile.

    Pikcing up information from websites is bad idea. We should be able to edit our profiles as we see fit rather than tethering the information to the meta data.

    For non-profits, it makes sense for you to have links to their pages where people can decide to donate, volunteer, or sign a petition so that people can get engaged with the group from their inbox.

    I would like my summary to read. Jim Libonati 954-600-5843 provides professional massage therapy services in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

    Right now it reads "in and around Fort Lauderdale, FL" how do I get rid of the words "and around"?

    This feature is awesome. It can save you so much time and is very easy. 2 Thumbs up for this one. I can't see anything that can be improved at this point but will post here if I do find one.

    no-reply@hunch.com reads:
    "In the Dark Places- PJ Harvey"

    It should read:
    "Hunch provides personalized recommendations from people you follow and makes customized predictions based on your interests."

    Thanks!
    Ben

    One thing: when the email is a Google Apps address, it should show the company's info, not Google's.
