Small teams and online communities often split their day between a Gmail inbox and a Discord server. FlowMattic moves the important parts across: unread or alert emails become channel posts, and mentions, forum posts and announcements in Discord become emails or Gmail drafts. Each workflow runs from your own WordPress site.

1. TriggerNew Message Posted to Channel2. ActionSend EmailWhen Discord fires New Message Posted to Channel, FlowMattic runs Send Email in Gmail with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateA daily Schedule finds unread emails, posts a reminder for each one in a channel and marks it read, so the team sees what is still waiting before they log off.

View the template Every hour, emails from your monitoring or payment provider are posted to the ops channel and labelled as posted, so outages and failed charges are discussed where the team works.

A mention of your support role in a text or announcement channel sends an email to the shared support address, so the question joins the normal ticket queue.
New Mention in Text and AnnouncementsSend Email
Each message in your announcements channel becomes a Gmail draft with the same text, ready for you to tidy and send to members who are not on Discord.

When a post opens in the feedback forum, an AI Agent condenses it into the request, the reason and the urgency, and Gmail sends that summary to the product lead.

If you check email more often than Discord, mentions of you in threads and forum posts arrive in Gmail with a link back, so replies do not wait until your next login.

When you finish, every evening your unread Gmail emails are posted to a Discord channel and marked read.
In FlowMattic, add the Gmail account to check and the Discord server to post to under Connects.
Start a workflow with Schedule and pick a daily time near the end of your working day.
Add Find Multiple Emails with a search for unread messages, then an Iterator over the list it returns.
Inside the loop, add Send Channel Message with the sender and subject, then Mark Email as Read with the thread ID. Test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Gmail and Discord connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
You choose the search, so only the emails you mean to share reach Discord, and they pass through your own WordPress server.
Runs are unlimited, so an hourly inbox check costs the same as a daily one.
Gmail's Create Draft and Send Draft actions let a person read anything written from Discord before it leaves your account.
It can post selected emails to Discord channels on a schedule, and it can turn Discord mentions, forum posts or channel messages into Gmail emails or drafts. You build each direction as its own workflow on the FlowMattic builder.
Gmail has no trigger here, so emails are found by a Schedule that runs as often as you set. Pick a short interval for alerts and a daily one for summaries.
Yes, with some setup. Post the email's thread ID with the message, then a workflow on a reply channel can use Reply to Email or Create Draft Reply with that ID.
Get Email Details returns the message's details. Whether the file can be posted depends on the data it returns, so test the step with a real email before relying on it.
