GMAIL trigger

[ohadp]

Hi,

Is there a trigger for GMAIL in Application Integration?

I don't see such a trigger...

I would like to trigger an integration to start running whenever a new email arrives to my GMAIL inbox and extract the email subject and body content (text) as a string.

And if possible, I would like to filter only a specific email type (coming from a specific sender) by analyzing the "FROM".

Thank you,

Ohad

Gmail trigger is in roadmap. But there are alternative available triggers as  webhook  and pub/sub   which are supported by gmail

Can you give us an estimated time?

We dont publish timelines on roadmap in this space. We will definitely keep you posted on updates

Thanks, I'm paying attention, this is something that interests many people, because through pub/sub you can only monitor one email label at a time, which greatly limits automation, therefore we have to look for external solutions like Zapier , Pabbly Connect or Make

Thank you Madhuvandhini!

It might be possible to "approximate" a gmail trigger by configuring something to run on a schedule, every minute, hour, or whatever. That something could be an integration (it has a schedule trigger), or it could be a Cloud Run job via Cloud Scheduler, or etc.  And then within the logic that runs on a schedule, examine the gmail inbox and proceed with your operations.
