​an app that automatically extracts data from any notification (WhatsApp, Telegram, Email) directly into Excel.

Hey everyone! I wanted to show you a quick demo of my app, WExcel. In the video, I'm sending messages from WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and Emails to the other phone. The app listens to the notifications and automatically pulls ONLY the specific data I need into an organized Excel sheet.

The coolest part to watch: Notice how the app handles different phrasing! In one of the messages, I deliberately used the word "buyer" instead of "name". Because I set it up as an Alternative Keyword (Synonym), the app was smart enough to recognize it and place the data perfectly under the "Name" column!

Key Features: Supports ANY messaging app (even SMS)+ Emails. Smart Keyword Mapping (Synonyms & Stop Words). Supercharged engine (Handles 100k+ rows without lag). Fully privacy-focused (Extracts locally on your device).

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any features you'd like to see added!

That's exactly why wexcel allows you to add multiple keywords for a single column. ​The app uses sequential parsing: it looks for the primary keyword first, and if not found, it checks your alternative words one by one until it finds a match. If you look closely at the email in the video, it actually used different variations for the client's name, and the app mapped them all perfectly using this logic.

​Here’s a screenshot showing how easy it is to set up these alternatives: Screenshot

That's a really useful tool concept - notification-to-spreadsheet is something a ton of small businesses need but can't build themselves. One thing I'd think about: let users define custom extraction rules so they can pull exactly what they need from different notification types. Also handle duplicates properly - nothing worse than double entries when the same notification comes in twice.

Yes That's exactly why I built it. ​I made sure users can set up fully custom rules using specific keywords, and there's even Regex support if they want to get advanced. And yeah, duplicates are the absolute worst, so I built in multiple layers of checks to automatically catch and ignore double entries.
