Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + Pocket integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and Pocket

How does the integration between Gmail and Pocket work?

The integration allows you to automatically save Gmail emails and their content to Pocket. By setting up specific triggers such as receiving a new email or labeling an email in Gmail, you can perform actions like saving the email's content to your Pocket list for easy access later.

Can I choose what kind of emails get saved to my Pocket list through the integration?

Yes, you can specify filters and triggers based on criteria like sender, subject line, or labels in Gmail, ensuring only certain emails are saved automatically to your Pocket account.

Do I need any specific skills to set up the Gmail-Pocket integration?

No specific technical skills are needed. We provide a user-friendly interface where you can select predefined triggers and actions or customize them according to your needs. It's straightforward and doesn’t require coding knowledge.

Is there an option to save only attachments or specific parts of an email from Gmail to Pocket?

Currently, our integration focuses on saving the entire email content as it appears in Gmail. We don't have an option yet for saving only attachments or specific sections directly into Pocket.

Can I use multiple triggers for saving Gmail emails into Pocket?

Yes, you're able to set up multiple triggers such as different labels or conditions inside your Gmail account. This flexibility allows various emails or types of notifications from different workflows to be captured by your Pocket list seamlessly.

What happens if there are changes in my email after it’s been saved in Pocket? Will it update automatically?

Once an email is saved into Pocket through our integration, it remains unchanged even if there are updates made on that specific email within your Gmail account. Currently, the system doesn’t support automatic updates post initial save.

How can I stop syncing certain types of emails from Gmail to my Pocket account once started?

To stop syncing certain types of emails from being saved automatically, you will need to adjust the trigger settings in your current integration setup. This ensures that changes take effect immediately according to your preferences.

Practical ways you can use Gmail and Pocket

Save articles from Gmail emails to Pocket

When a Gmail email contains an interesting article or resource link, Zapier can automatically save it to your Pocket account. This eliminates manual copying and pasting, making it easier to keep all valuable content organized and accessible for later review.

Business Owner
Archive saved Pocket articles as Gmail drafts

When an article is saved in Pocket, Zapier can trigger a Gmail draft email with relevant information from the article. This helps IT teams streamline communication and document resources for troubleshooting or knowledge-sharing purposes.

IT
Send Gmail emails to Pocket for team research

If a team member emails important research or articles in Gmail, Zapier can add these directly to a shared Pocket account. This keeps research centralized and easily sharable, ultimately enhancing collaboration and ensuring project-related resources are easily referenced later.

Project Management

Supported triggers and actions

Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
