Automatically forward relevant Gmail messages to contacts

This automation allows users to monitor their Gmail inbox for new messages that match a specified search criteria, and then automatically trigger the sending of those emails to designated recipient email addresses.

The workflow involves a 'New Email Matching Search' trigger that detects relevant incoming Gmail messages, followed by a 'Send Email' action to forward the matched emails to the configured contacts. This integration relies on the Gmail API to access the user's inbox and send outgoing messages on their behalf.
