Modify then concatenate String

Question

I have an Email Service that creates Leads from 3rd party vendors. We now want to accept a UTM parameter, but the vendor can’t concatenate. In my class, how can I turn this (which is in the body of the email):

Marketing Referrer Content: Facebook
Marketing Referrer Medium: Displaypro
Marketing Referrer Campaign: Q32022_display
Marketing Referrer Source: Google
Marketing Referrer Term: 50Visa

Into this:

?utm_medium=displaypro&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Q32022_Display&utm_content=facebook&utm_term=50Visa

For Additional Context: Sample Email:

A new lead from Lead Gen tool!

Answer 1

It seems to me that you already have code that parses the lines in the email body: the emailSearch() method.

This is already being used by earlier lines in the main code body. Examples:

newLead.FirstName = emailSearch(email.plainTextBody, 'First Name:');
newLead.LastName = emailSearch(email.plainTextBody, 'Last Name:');

I have not looked into the emailSearch() code in detail, so this is obviously untested, but I would try to add code somewhere that does something like:

String UTM = '?';
UTM += 'utm_medium=' + emailSearch(email.plainTextBody, 'Marketing Referrer Medium:');
UTM += '&utm_source=' + emailSearch(email.plainTextBody, 'Marketing Referrer Source:');
...

If that does not give you exactly what you need, you may have to tweak the emailSearch() code to handle these inputs.

Then do whatever you need to with the UTM string

This is assuming that all of those items in the email body always exist and always will have values. If you want to build it when/if they do not all have values, then you may want to remove the & that I hardcoded at the beginning of the second parameter (and assumed to be in the subsequent parameters), then add some code to check for values before adding a & and the next parameter.
