If you can get the url from the email, you can try it with something like this:

function extractHostname(url) {
    var hostname;
    var url = [your way of getting url from email];

    if (url.indexOf("://") > -1) {
        hostname = url.split('/')[2];
    } else {
        hostname = url.split('/')[0];
    }
    hostname = hostname.split(':')[0].split('?')[0];

 return hostname;
});
