Steps:

Bardeen's playbook for daily email summaries to Slack is designed to help you stay on top of your inbox without constant monitoring. It automates the process of summarizing your email contents and sending these summaries to a designated Slack channel or user. Especially for busy professionals who rely on Slack for communication, this workflow ensures that you never miss important information from your emails while maintaining focus on your work.

Here's how this workflow automates your email summaries into Slack:

  • Step 1: Set Schedule - You decide when Bardeen should trigger the workflow to gather your emails. Set the time frame for daily summaries by specifying the 'After when?' and 'Before when?' parameters.
  • Step 2: Find Emails - Bardeen interacts with Gmail to find emails within the specified time frame. Gmail's powerful search capabilities are utilized to gather the necessary emails to summarize.
  • Step 3: Summarize with OpenAI - The body of the found emails is summarized using OpenAI's advanced natural language processing capabilities, providing you with concise and relevant summaries.
  • Step 4: Merge Summaries - The summaries are then merged with the subject lines to give context to each summary in preparation to be sent to Slack.
  • Step 5: Send to Slack - Finally, the summaries are sent as messages to the designated Slack channel or user. Slack becomes the hub for your daily email summaries, allowing for quick review and action.

The new Bardeen – Find leads no one else does:

With our new Bardeen version, you can easily extract data from any website and discover new leads across the web. After extracting data from a website, use Bardeen’s powerful automation tools to validate and enrich your data, run additional scrapers on linked pages, or leverage AI to qualify leads and generate content automatically. Once your data is ready, you can easily export it to CSV, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion for further analysis and reporting.

How Bardeen integrates with your existing system:
With Bardeen, you can easily import and export data to spreadsheets or CSV files, then push it to your favorite CRM or outreach tool — like Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apollo.io, or any platform that supports CSV. Most tools offer built-in import options or third-party solutions, making integration seamless and keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
