Automate Storing & Updating Emails in Your Database

Automate Storing & Updating Emails in Your Database

Easily process incoming emails, extract valuable details, and sync them directly into your database. Streamline your communication tracking and never lose an important email thread again! 📩


🛎️ Trigger: New Email Received

When a new email is received (via webhook), this workflow kicks off automatically.


🔎 Step 1: Extract Email Addresses

The workflow pulls out the main email addresses from the incoming email, ensuring everything is neat and ready to be stored.


🗂️ Step 2: Extract Names

Names from the "To" and "CC" fields are fetched, so you can always see who was involved in the conversation.


🔤 Step 3: Find the Application Name

It identifies which app or service sent the email by extracting the app name from the email domain. Perfect for sorting and organization!


📃 Step 4: Search Existing Records in Apps Table plugin

The workflow looks for existing records in your Apps table to check if the email relates to a previous conversation.


🏷️ Step 5: Find Top App Slug Name

It sorts the found records and selects the most relevant app reference, keeping your records tidy.


🔄 Step 6: Update Existing Email Record table-api

If an email thread matches an existing record, it updates the email entry with new details such as updated conversation count and email info.


📈 Step 7: Update Conversation Count (If Record Exists) plugin

If there's already a record for this thread, the workflow bumps up the conversation count so you can track ongoing discussions easily.


🆕 Step 8: Create New Record (If No Match Found) plugin

If no record exists, a fresh entry is made in the Mails table—capturing every detail from email, names, subject, and more.


✅ Step 9: Finish

You’ll have an organized, searchable email log, with conversation counts to track engagement.
