Gmail + Slack + Filter by Zapier + PDF.co + AI by Zapier

Filter Gmail attachments, convert to PDF, analyze with AI, and share in Slack

Not every email attachment deserves your attention, but the important ones need to get to your team fast. This automation filters new Gmail attachments based on conditions you set, converts qualifying files to PDF with PDF.co, and uses AI by Zapier to analyze the content. The results are posted as a channel message in Slack, so your team gets the highlights without anyone having to open, convert, or review files manually.
