Post email alerts to Mattermost.

When a new email matching a specific criteria arrives in Gmail, Zapier automatically sends a message to a Mattermost channel. This ensures IT teams can quickly address critical messages, such as system failure alerts or urgent requests, improving response times and system reliability.

IT
Update Mattermost on labeled emails.

When an email is labeled in Gmail (indicating it’s pertinent to a project), Zapier sends a corresponding message to a Mattermost channel tied to that project. Project Managers can streamline communication and ensure the entire team stays informed of external updates.
