Gmail → Notion Task Creator

Stop manually copying emails into your task manager. This workflow watches your Gmail inbox (or a specific label), parses each email for action items, extracts key details (deadlines, priority, sender context), and creates a structured Notion database entry. Optional AI node (OpenAI/Ollama) can classify email intent and suggest task priority. Each Notion entry includes the email subject, sender, a TL;DR summary, extracted action items, and a link back to the original email. Perfect for consultants, freelancers, and anyone whose inbox doubles as their to-do list.

📖 Setup Guide

## Setup Guide 1. **Gmail node**: Authenticate via OAuth. Set trigger to "On New Email" or filter by label (e.g., "To-Do") 2. **Function node**: Parse email body — extract subject, sender, date, and body text 3. **AI node (optional)**: Send email body to OpenAI/Ollama to classify as "task," "reference," or "no action" and suggest priority (high/medium/low) 4. **IF node**: Skip if classified as "no action" 5. **Function node**: Format extracted data into Notion page properties: - Title: email subject - Priority: from AI suggestion or regex match for "urgent"/"ASAP" - Due Date: regex match for date patterns in body - Source: link back to Gmail message - Status: "New" 6. **Notion node**: Create database entry with mapped properties 7. **Function node**: Store processed email ID in cache/database to prevent duplicates > 💡 **Pro tip**: Create a Gmail filter that auto-labels emails from specific senders (boss, clients) with "To-Do" — only those get processed.
