Extract company and phone number from email signature
Pull company name and phone number from email signatures automatically, save them with the contact email, and export everything to CSV.

An email address alone is rarely enough for serious outreach. Callers need a phone number. Account mappers need a company name. Both often sit in the signature under the message, exactly where busy teams forget to look when building a list.
EmailToCRM (emailtocrm.online) extracts company and phone details from email signatures when you forward a message, then attaches them to the contact record for CSV export.
What a useful signature usually contains
Beyond the person’s name, look for:
- Company legal or brand name
- Phone mobile, direct dial, or switchboard
- Title and sometimes department
- Website that confirms the organization
HTML signatures vary wildly (tables, images, legal disclaimers), but the phone and company lines are still the fields reps hunt for before a call block.
Manual capture does not survive a busy week
Highlighting a phone number, pasting into mobile contacts, then typing the company into a CRM creates three systems and zero consistency. One missed signature means a lead with only an email and no way to call. Forwarding standardizes the capture path: same action, structured fields, one export later.
How to capture company and phone with EmailToCRM
- Sign up and copy your forwarding inbox address.
- Forward emails where the external party’s signature is visible.
- Review the contact in the dashboard. Confirm company and phone look right.
- Tag call-ready leads on Team plans (
+phone-ready,+account-map). - Export CSV including those fields for your dialer or CRM import.
Enrichment and cleaner deduplication on paid plans help when the same person emails from multiple threads with slightly different footers.
Tips that improve phone and company quality
- Forward a message the person authored so their signature is present
- Prefer recent mail; old signatures may list outdated numbers
- When a thread has multiple external parties, one full-history forward can capture several footers
- Strip nothing “for cleanliness” before forwarding. You may delete the only phone line
Call and account data without the scavenger hunt
Stop scrolling for the number that was in the footer all along. Forward signature-rich emails to EmailToCRM, keep company and phone with the contact, and export a CSV your team can actually dial and map.
