Efficient communication within teams is crucial for business success. This playbook automates the process of summarizing important emails and sharing them on Slack, ensuring that your team stays updated with critical information without the need to sift through every email. This workflow is particularly useful for project managers, customer support teams, and any professional who relies on quick and effective information dissemination.

Here's how this workflow simplifies sharing email summaries on Slack:

  • Step 1: Find Email - Bardeen locates the specific email in Gmail based on an exact match search. This ensures that the correct email is targeted for summarization.
  • Step 2: Summarize Email Content - The body of the found email is then summarized using OpenAI's advanced natural language processing capabilities, providing a concise overview of the content.
  • Step 3: Send Summary to Slack - Finally, Bardeen sends the generated summary as a message to a recipient or channel in Slack, keeping your team informed and aligned.

How to run the playbook

Summarize a long email and send it to someone on Slack in just 10 seconds. 

This playbook takes in an email (Gmail) that you can specify using its subject line. 

Bardeen will then summarize the body of that email using OpenAI (GPT-3). 

Finally, you can input the Slack user name of the person that you’d like to send the summary to.
