When I get an email
The flow starts when a new email arrives in Gmail. You can start it for all emails or for specific ones.
Example: If you receive an email from a key client that contains an attachment, auto-add the attachment to a private Google Drive folder and draft a confirmation reply.
Important: By default, this starter ignores events other flows create. This prevents a situation where a flow is in a loop after it sends an email. If you need a flow to start through an email sent by another flow, check the box next to "Include messages sent by flows."
Configuration:
To start for specific emails, you can set conditions for:
- Skip thread replies: Check this box to trigger your flow only on the first email in a new conversation, ignoring all subsequent back-and-forth replies.
- From/To: To limit which emails start the flow, use the "To" field.
- Has the words/Doesn't have: You can refine your starter with standard words or phrases. You can't filter based on labels, like label:finance, or dates.
- Subject has
- Has attachment
- Filter by email size
- Email label
Tip: Only the default Gmail labels are available. Custom labels aren't available.
