Steps:

Bardeen's Summarize and save new emails to Airtable using OpenAI automation takes the hassle out of managing your inbox. It's designed to keep you focused on what matters by summarizing new emails and saving them to Airtable. This means you can quickly glance at the gist of your emails without getting bogged down by details. This workflow is ideal for professionals who receive high volumes of email and need to prioritize their responses or for sales and marketing teams who need to track correspondence and follow-ups.

Here's how this workflow simplifies email management:

  • Step 1: Receive new emails - The workflow triggers when a new email is received, capturing the subject line and sender details.
  • Step 2: Prepare text for summarization - Bardeen concatenates the subject and body of the email to prepare the text for summarization by OpenAI.
  • Step 3: Summarize text with OpenAI - OpenAI processes the concatenated text to generate a concise summary. This step can also filter to process only emails from specified senders if needed.
  • Step 4: Save summary to Airtable - The summarized content, along with details like date and sender, is saved to an Airtable base. This creates a searchable database of your email summaries.
