Ready-made Workflow

Send Slack alerts for matching Gmail emails

Stay informed about priority inbox messages without forwarding whole emails. New Gmail messages matching the prefilled search subject:"[Alert]" produce a plain-text Slack alert with the subject, sender, received date and Gmail conversation link. Connect Gmail and Slack, review the search query and choose a channel where the FastHook bot can post. Includes its own fictional English alert. Only newly received matching inbox messages are processed; this is not a historical import, label-change monitor or two-way sync. Email bodies and attachments are not forwarded. The Gmail link requires access to the same mailbox; select that Google account if you use multiple accounts. Subject and sender details are shared with everyone in the selected channel. Each new matching message produces one alert, including replies that still match the search.

Questions

Template FAQ

Does the template copy someone else's credentials?

No. FastHook creates a disconnected Draft. Connect your own Gmail, Slack accounts before activation.

Can I change the Steps and mappings?

Yes. The copied Workflow is an editable Draft. Review every Step, input, mapping, and route before you activate it.

What is copied into my workspace?

FastHook recreates the Trigger configuration, Action Steps, routes, and mappings with new IDs. Provider accounts, credentials, and secrets are never copied.

When does the Workflow start running?

Only after you connect the required accounts, finish the configuration, and explicitly activate the Draft.
