Update training records and email employees and managers

Automatically monitor certification report emails across Gmail and parse training CSVs. Send completion or reminder emails and update Airtable training records when certification report email arrives, CSV attachment matches search, or message date updatesβ€”so you can confirm completion, update statuses, and notify staff without manual processing.

How this automation accelerates your training follow-up

When certification report emails land with CSV attachments, manual processing can delay training updates and staff notifications. This automation reads and parses the CSV, updates Airtable training records, and sends completion or reminder emailsβ€”so your team can respond faster.
