Runs Every hour

Stop copying details out of email by hand. Forge finds the messages you flag, pulls out the sender, subject, and gist, and creates a record in the table you choose, so an inbox note becomes tracked work in your base.

How it works

  1. 1 Find new email carrying your chosen label
  2. 2 Extract the sender, subject, and a short summary
  3. 3 Add a record to the table with those fields filled in
