Log outgoing email in Notion database

With this workflow you can effortlessly log important emails. When a label is added in Gmail (manually or via a filter) AI generates a concise summary of the email body. The workflow then creates a Notion database page, categorising the email as sent or received while logging key details like subject, date, recipient, and summary.

The full email content is also stored inside the database page for easy reference. No more manually logging: just a seamless, hands-free way to keep track of important emails.
