Manage your email workflow from Notion with Gmail and Slack

Set an email's status in Notion and it automatically replies, forwards, routes, or archives it.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

You want to manage your inbox from one place instead of jumping between Gmail, Slack, and your task tracker. Manually replying, forwarding, and filing each email eats into time you should be spending on real work.

Who it fits

Best for project managers or teams who use Notion as their central command center for email.

How it works

  1. Watches for a status change on an email entry in Notion
  2. Sends the drafted reply through Gmail when marked Responded
  3. Forwards the email and sends a Slack message when marked Delegated
  4. Creates a task ticket when marked Routed
  5. Applies a Gmail label when marked Archived, then marks the entry Processed
What you get

Emails routed the moment you set a status

You get replies sent, emails forwarded, and tickets created automatically the moment you update a status in Notion.

What you get

A completed email action, plus an updated, fully logged record in Notion.

What you need

A Notion account, Gmail, a Slack workspace, and a task tracker such as Jira.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
