Practical ways you can use Airtable and Gmail
Track customer inquiries from Gmail in Airtable
As a busy business owner, managing customer inquiries is crucial. With this Zap, whenever a new email matching specific search criteria (such as containing a certain keyword) arrives in Gmail, Zapier automatically creates a record in Airtable. This keeps all customer inquiries in one place, improving response times and organization.
Business OwnerLog promotional email responses in Airtable
Keep track of responses to your promotional campaigns easily. When a new response is received in Gmail with specific keywords or labels, Zapier adds it as a record in a designated Airtable base. This automation ensures no response is missed and keeps marketing data centralized for better analysis.
Marketing & Marketing OpsUpdate Airtable when receiving project-related emails
Instead of manually adding project updates from Gmail to Airtable, let Zapier handle it. When a project-related email matching certain keywords or labels is received, Zapier updates a specific record in Airtable with the relevant details. This saves time on updates and ensures accurate tracking of project statuses.
