Bardeen integrates Gmail and ClickUp, powered by OpenAI, to automate the process of creating tasks from emails. With this playbook, you can generate a list of tasks from an email thread and create a task for each item in ClickUp, a productivity platform. This way, you won't miss out on any tasks mentioned in your emails and can effectively manage your work. It's a great tool to enhance your personal productivity and streamline your product development process.

Here is how this workflow works:

  1. Find email thread: The first step involves Gmail, a popular email service. Bardeen will find the email thread from the currently opened email page.
  2. Get summary of email: Bardeen uses OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company, to summarize the text in the email. This summary provides a concise overview of the email content.
  3. Extract tasks from email: Using OpenAI again, the playbook proceeds to extract a list of tasks from the email description. These tasks are what need to be accomplished.
  4. Merge text: Bardeen then merges the text from the previous steps. This step prepares the text for the task creation in ClickUp.
  5. Create ClickUp task: Finally, Bardeen creates a task in ClickUp for each item in the task list. The task list is associated with a specific list in ClickUp, which you will need to specify. ClickUp is a productivity platform that helps manage work and personal tasks in an intuitive environment.
