Steps:

Bardeen's playbook leverages OpenAI to effortlessly summarize new emails and save them into ClickUp. In today's fast-paced business environment, quickly distilling key information from emails and organizing them can be a game-changer for productivity and responsiveness. By automating the process of summarizing emails, you can ensure nothing critical slips through the cracks and have a clear overview of your inbox in ClickUp.

Here's how this workflow summarises new emails and saves them to ClickUp using OpenAI:

  • Step 1: Trigger on new email - When a new email is received, the subject and sender are extracted and prepared for a summary.
  • Step 2: Merge email content - The subject and body of the email are combined into a single text block, ready for summarization.
  • Step 3: Summarize with OpenAI - OpenAI creates a concise summary of the merged text, highlighting the email's essential content.
  • Step 4: Format email details - The sender's details and a subject prefix are formatted into a text string to be used in ClickUp.
  • Step 5: Create ClickUp task - A new ClickUp task is created with the email summary, sender's information, and a link to the email. This ensures that key information is actionable and easily accessible in your workflow.
