Most powerful ways to connect PDF.co and Gmail
Gmail + PDF.co + Google Drive: When a new email with an attachment arrives in Gmail, PDF.co extracts the invoice data from the attachment and then saves the attachment as a PDF to Google Drive. The original email is then labeled in Gmail to indicate that it has been processed.
Gmail + PDF.co + Slack: When a new email arrives in Gmail with a contract attached, PDF.co converts the contract into a PDF document. Then, a Slack alert is sent to a specified channel to notify users of the new signed contract.
