Pushbuild

The emails that matter posted to the right Slack channel, with nothing left unanswered.

Leads, client requests and supplier issues arrive in a shared Gmail inbox and wait until someone checks it. A custom setup posts matching emails to the right Slack channel, shows who has picked each one up, and reminds the channel when an email has gone unanswered for too long. Every run is logged, and anything that cannot be matched is sent to you. We write down the scope and agree it with you before we start.

Sound familiar?

What teams that need important emails seen in Slack tell us before a project starts.

  • Leads wait in a shared inbox.
  • Two people answer the same email.
  • Nobody answers some emails at all.
  • Important emails are forwarded around.
  • Response times are unknown.

Questions people ask first

Doesn't Slack have a Gmail app?

It lets you forward emails one at a time. This does it on rules and tracks replies.

Can replies be sent from Slack?

Replies stay in Gmail; Slack shows who has it and whether it was answered.

Does it work with Google Groups inboxes?

Yes.
