Post important emails to a Slack channel

Whenever a new email arrives in Gmail, it is read against a short description of what matters to you, written in plain English: who needs an answer, what counts as trouble, and what to leave out, such as newsletters and automatic replies. It ships with a starting description you can rewrite in your own words.

The emails that match are posted to your Slack channel with the subject, the sender and the first part of the message, and a link that opens it in Gmail. You can have each alert ping the channel or a named person. Everything else ends the run quietly. Only the decision to post involves AI, and nothing in Gmail is changed.

You need a Gmail connection, a Slack connection and the ID of the Slack channel to post into.
