In the past I had used the long way round: parsing alerts in email to google sheets. It's been about 2 years that I stopped using it so I do not recall the details of the setup, however I do remember that it was free.
It could be a solution if you do not find an indicator / ea that can do the job.

Looked at my old spreadsheets, the email parsing was running for 2 years - 2019 and 2020 - using Microsoft Flow which was free at the time.
Now it has been renamed to Power Automate, don't know if there is still a free subscription available.
When I managed to set it up in 2019, it kept running trouble free for 2 years.
Never went back to investigate what broke down the process.
