Create image asset entries from incoming email attachments
Automatically extract image attachments and create media catalog entries across Gmail, Google Drive, Formatter by Zapier, and Notion. Get uploads when attachment arrives, image files attach, or emails include attachments—so you can normalize filenames, upload files, and catalog metadata without manual cataloging.
How this automation builds your media catalog
When new email attachments arrive, images can get lost in inboxes and metadata stays incomplete. This automation extracts image files and uploads them, cleans names and dates, and creates a Notion record—so you can catalog media fast.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
