What is your goal?
I am wanting to do the following - is this possible with Make please?
1 - Take ALL emails with a particular tag or in a folder.
2 - Copy the email into a google Doc.
The following would be great to have but not imperative.
3 - Delete the email once copied over.
4 - send google doc at a certain 0900 on Friday mornings to my email address.
5 - Delete all text in google doc so it starts again.
What is the problem?
I cannot work out how to do step 1! Let alone any of the other steps!
What have you tried so far?
I got stuck on google mail step
Hey Will,
What is the starting condition like? Do you want this to trigger every time a new email is received or run it at specific times?
For the second approach, you should be able to get them with a Search module, then text aggregator to combine them all in a single text, then add that to the Google doc. Then iterator to go through the emails again and delete them.
Thanks Stoyan. I guess the starting condition is flexible. The end result is getting all emails that have come in that week transferred to a document. I am currently manually doing it every Friday.
I dont actually understand what you said re the second approach. Would this be easier to use google sheets?
Ok in that case I don’t think you need the Google doc at all.
Have the automation run Friday morning at 9. First module is a Search module to retrieve the matching emails, then a router. First route is a text aggregator with the Search module as the source so it combines all the emails bodies I a single text block. Next module is a send email module to send you the text. Second route is a module to delete the emails that the Search module returned.
