Gmail has no trigger in FlowMattic, but Email Parser does: forward the messages you care about to your parser address and each one starts a workflow. From there Gmail can send a clean summary to someone else, label and mark the original, or prepare a reply draft. For shops, agencies and support desks that run on a Gmail inbox.

1. TriggerEmail Received2. ActionSend EmailWhen Email Parser fires Email Received, 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.
Supplier confirmations arrive in long templates. The parser pulls out the order number, items and dispatch date, and Gmail sends the warehouse a short message with only those details.

An AI Agent reads the parsed question and writes a reply in your tone. Gmail saves it as a draft, so nothing goes out until you have read it.

Find Email locates the original in your inbox by subject and sender, then Add Label to Email and Mark Email as Read show the team it has been processed.

Find the original message, then Reply to Email answers inside its thread with a short note that you will be in touch, so the customer sees one conversation.

A Router checks the sender's domain. Messages from key clients go to account managers and the rest to the general team, each as a FlowMattic email template sent through Gmail.

A Filter passes messages whose subject or body mentions an invoice, and Gmail sends the bookkeeper the amount, due date and supplier, so they are not copied on everything.

When you are done, each supplier email you forward to the parser sends a short summary from your Gmail account.
Create a workflow with the Email Parser Email Received trigger and copy the address FlowMattic shows.
In Gmail, add that address as a forwarding address and create a filter that forwards supplier emails to it.
Forward one real supplier email so FlowMattic captures the subject, sender and body to map from.
Add a Gmail connection under Connects, add Send Email, write the summary with the parsed fields, test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Email Parser and Gmail connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Parsed emails are handled by FlowMattic on your own WordPress site before Gmail sends anything, so message content does not pass through a third automation account.
Runs are unlimited, so forwarding hundreds of order or enquiry emails a day needs no bigger FlowMattic plan.
Drafts, Filters and Routers let you decide which emails get an automatic reply and which wait for a person.
Not from Gmail directly, since Gmail has no trigger here. Forward the messages you want to your Email Parser address with a Gmail filter, and the Email Received trigger starts the workflow.
Yes. Use Find Email to locate the original by subject and sender, then Reply to Email with its thread. This works when the original sits in the Gmail account you connected.
Yes. Use Create Draft or Create Draft Reply instead of sending. The draft waits in Gmail, and you can review, edit and send it yourself, or send it later with Send Draft.
The trigger gives the sender, subject and body of each forwarded message. Text Formatter or an AI Agent can pull values such as order numbers, amounts or dates out of the body for later steps.
Yes. Delete Draft and Delete Draft Reply remove drafts by their ID, which the workflow gets back when it creates them.
