Depending on your setup, data should flow between Mailhook and Grist (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 Grist
Mailhook + Grist + Slack: When a new email is received via Mailhook, the details are logged as a new record in Grist. Then, a notification about the new support email, including key details from the email, is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Mailhook + Grist + Airtable: When Mailhook receives a trigger (e.g., a scheduled report generation), it creates a new record in Grist to store email campaign results. This data is then synced to Airtable by creating a new record.
