Frequently Asked Questions about Things + Gmail integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Things and Gmail
How do I set up a Gmail to Things integration?
To set up the integration, start by selecting Gmail as your trigger app and choose an event, such as 'New Email Matching Search'. Then, select Things as the action app with tasks like 'Create To-Do' to automatically add emails as tasks.
Can I create a Things task for every starred email in Gmail?
Yes, we can help you automate this by setting Gmail's 'Starred Email' as a trigger. This way, every time you star an email in Gmail, a corresponding task will be added in Things.
Is it possible to add email attachments to Things via the integration?
Currently, adding attachments directly to Things through our integration isn't supported. However, you can include links or notes from emails into the task descriptions in Things.
What happens if my Gmail search doesn’t find any new emails?
If there are no new emails that match your specified criteria in the search, then no new tasks will be created in Things until an email matches those search terms.
Can I specify which folder or project in Things a task should go into from a Gmail trigger?
Yes, when setting up the action step for creating a to-do in Things, you can specify the target project or folder where you'd like these tasks to be organized.
How often does the integration check for new Gmail emails?
The frequency of checking for new Gmail emails depends on your plan. Typically, this is set at intervals ranging from every 5 minutes to hourly.
Will deleting an email in Gmail remove it from Things automatically?
No, deleting an email from Gmail will not automatically remove the corresponding task from Things unless a specific action is set up for that purpose within our automation platform.
