Gmail + Workast integrations

Create Workast tasks from new starred Gmail emails [Business Gmail Accounts Only]

Work comes from all avenues and Workast keeps all your tasks in one place. Use this automation to create a new Workast task when you star a new email in Gmail. Once the task is in Workast, you can add a subtask for additional steps you need to take to complete the task or assign the task to a team member to assist you.

Note: Triggers when you receive a new email and star it within two days.
