How to sync new Gmail emails to Airtable records

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and responds to your playbook.

Click "Add trigger" and select "Email received" under Gmail. Then, select the most relevant criteria like sender, recipient, and message content. If this is your first time using a Gmail integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Gmail account.

Every time an email is received in Gmail, your playbook will run automatically.

Now, you can add a new record in Airtable. Add a further step and select "Add record" from the list of Airtable automations.

Connect Airtable to Relay if you haven't already, then fill out details like the table and fields to be updated. You can reference fields from Gmail to pass along the correct data automatically.

When you are done with the playbook, it's time to turn it on.

The playbook will now run automatically whenever an email is received in Gmail. You can also click "Check now" to manually check whenever you'd like.
