Gmail + Slack + Todoist

Create Todoist tasks and send Slack DMs for new labeled Gmail emails

Coordinating work across your email, to-do list, and team chat can be messy. When you label a new email in Gmail, this automation creates a task in Todoist and notifies you through a Slack direct message. It keeps your project tracking and communication perfectly in sync.

When this happens...
New Labeled EmailTriggers when an email is labeled. Also triggers when a reply is added to the conversation.
