Gmail + Slack + AI by Zapier + Digest by Zapier

Summarize new emails with AI, compile in digest, and send to Slack

Avoid drowning in email notifications while staying informed. This Zap triggers on new Gmail messages, uses AI to generate a summary of each email's key points, adds those summaries to a digest that compiles throughout the day or week, then sends you a single consolidated Slack message with all your email highlights. You'll review what matters on your schedule, not your inbox's.
