Gmail to Slack Alerts
Important emails get buried while your team lives in Slack — so the ones that need a fast response slip. This assistant reads each incoming Gmail message, sets priority and intent, summarizes it, and posts it to the right Slack channel — then drafts a reply for review. Your team acts on what matters first, without living in the inbox.

Works with Gmail, Slack
This assistant connects to Gmail, Slack once — no code required. It is not a plain field-copy integration: as data moves, the AI adds a real decision step (classify, extract, prioritize, draft), and a human approves before anything is sent to Gmail.
Frequently asked questions
Does this assistant automatically send replies to emails without my approval?
No, it only drafts a reply in Gmail for you to review and approve before anything is sent — it never sends automatically.
Which Slack channel does the email alert get posted to?
You configure the target Slack channel when you set up the assistant; it posts the summary and priority there so your team sees it instantly.
Do I need to write any code to connect Gmail and Slack?
No code is needed. You connect your Gmail and Slack accounts once in Gaia, and the assistant handles the rest.
How does the assistant decide which emails are important?
It reads each incoming email and sets a priority and intent based on the content, so urgent or action-required messages get surfaced first.
Can I customize the summary format or the Slack alert message?
Yes, you can adjust the prompt and settings in Gaia to control how the summary and alert are written to fit your team's needs.
