Trigger Event

A new email arrives in Gmail (you can choose to trigger only on the first message in a thread or include replies).

Actions

  • The email body is sent to an AI classifier that identifies the type of message: idea, bug, improvement, support, or spam.
  • The AI output is cleaned to pull key details like idea name, summary, and category.
  • If it’s an idea/bug/improvement:
    • A new Idea is created in Frill using the sender’s name and email, plus the extracted title, description, and category.
    • A direct roadmap link to the new idea is generated and emailed to the sender as a confirmation.
  • If it’s a support request:
    • A polite acknowledgment email is sent letting the sender know your team is reviewing their message.
  • If it’s spam/promotional/irrelevant:
    • The flow ends quietly with no action.
