Log new Gmail emails into Google Sheets

Log new Gmail emails into Google Sheets

Introduction

Keep a searchable, shareable record of incoming emails by connecting Gmail to Google Sheets. Each time a new email arrives, this workflow pulls key details and saves them into a spreadsheet for easy tracking and reporting.

Benefits

  • Creates a centralized email log for audits, operations, or customer support follow-ups
  • Eliminates manual copy-pasting from Gmail into spreadsheets
  • Makes email activity easy to filter, search, and share with your team
  • Helps prevent missed messages by keeping an external record outside the inbox

Trigger Event

When a new email is received in Gmail (optionally filtered by subject, sender email, or label, and with a choice to trigger only on the first email in a thread or include replies).

Actions

  1. The automation reads the incoming email details from Gmail (sender email, subject, and message body).
  2. It formats the content (prioritizing plain text when available, otherwise saving the HTML body).
  3. It adds a new row in Google Sheets with the email’s sender, subject, and content, creating a continuously updated email register.
