Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Mailhook, Google docs, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Mailhook and Google docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Mailhook and Google docs (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Mailhook and Google docs
Mailhook + Google Docs + Slack: When a new email is received by Mailhook, the attached file's content (assuming it's text-based) is used to create a new document in Google Docs, and a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying about the new document.
Mailhook + OpenAI ChatGPT + Google Docs: When a new email is received by Mailhook, the content is sent to OpenAI ChatGPT for summarization. The summary is then used to create a new document in Google Docs.
