Slack reminder if a Gmail thread gets no reply after 6 hours
Introduction
Never let important emails slip. This workflow watches a Gmail conversation and pings you on Slack if nobody replies within 6 hours. ✅
Trigger Event
A new email arrives in Gmail (you can choose labels, subject, or sender filters). The flow starts on the first message of a thread and can also include later replies if you prefer.
Actions
- The workflow checks the current thread in Gmail and notes how many replies exist right now.
- It waits for 6 hours.
- After the wait, it checks the same Gmail thread again.
- If the reply count hasn’t changed, that means no one responded. You get a Slack DM with the sender, subject, and message preview so you can follow up fast.
- If there was any new reply, nothing else happens.
Benefits
- Prevent missed follow-ups and keep deals/support on track
- Save time scanning inboxes; Slack brings the right context to you
- Reduce response-time SLAs breaches with a clear, timed reminder
- Works for sales, success, and support teams; simple to adjust the delay
