Invoices, signed forms and reports keep arriving as email attachments, then sit in one person's inbox. FlowMattic's Email Parser gives you an address to forward them to, and each attachment lands in the right Google Drive folder. It suits bookkeepers, agencies and office managers who want files filed where the whole team can find them.

1. TriggerEmail Received2. ActionUpload a FileWhen Email Parser fires Email Received, FlowMattic runs Upload a File in Google Drive 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 templateForward an email and its attachment goes into one Drive folder you choose, so nobody has to download and re-upload files from their inbox.

View the template Find Folder looks for a folder named after the sender's company. A Router creates the folder the first time and uploads into the existing one after that.

Scanners and suppliers often send many files in one email. An Iterator goes through the attachment list and uploads each file on its own.

After the upload, Share File gives your accountant access to that one file by email, without sharing the rest of the folder.

Some emails matter more than their attachments, such as a written approval. Clean up the body and store it with Create File From Text next to the project files.

Email signatures add logos and icons as attachments. A Filter on the file type keeps them out, so the folder holds only the documents you wanted.

At the end, every attachment forwarded to your parser address is uploaded to one Google Drive folder.
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add Google Drive with an account that can add files to the target folder.
Create a workflow, choose Email Parser and Email Received, and copy the parser address FlowMattic shows.
Forward an email with an attachment to that address so FlowMattic captures the sender, subject, body and attachment fields.
Add Google Drive with Upload a File, choose the folder, map the attachment, test the step and switch the workflow on.

| Sender email | File description |
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Email Parser and Google Drive connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Attachments leave one person's inbox and go into shared Drive folders with names your team already uses.
The parser and the workflow run on your own WordPress site, so invoices and contracts are not routed through another automation service.
Runs are unlimited, so a month of supplier invoices costs the same as a handful of test emails.
Create a workflow with the Email Parser trigger, forward emails to the address it gives you, and add a Google Drive Upload a File step with the attachment mapped. Every attachment forwarded after that is uploaded to the folder you chose.
Yes. The parser address works like any email address, so you can forward by hand or set a forwarding rule in your mail app for messages from a certain sender.
Yes. Use Find Folder with the sender's name or domain, then a Router that runs Create a Folder when nothing is found and Upload a File into the folder either way.
Add a Filter after the trigger that continues only when an attachment is present, or use Create File From Text to keep the email body as a file instead.
Yes. Share File gives a named email address access, and Share File with Anyone creates a link anyone can open. Use the second only for documents that are fine to be public.
