## What it does

This skill provides workflow patterns for Gmail automation. It can filter messages by sender, subject, or attachments; send files to Google Drive; apply labels; mark messages as read; and archive processed email. Notifications can go to Slack or email.

Its invoice flow covers message detection, PDF extraction, data recognition, Drive storage, and spreadsheet updates. Other patterns sort client and project messages, while the analytics setup tracks received and sent messages, unread counts, attachment counts, and response time.

The skill uses the `google-workspace-mcp` MCP server with Gmail and Google Drive tools. Check access to that server first, because the workflows depend on it for mailbox and Drive actions.

## Overview

This skill helps you design and implement Gmail automation workflows that:
- Automatically save attachments to Google Drive
- Organize emails with smart labeling
- Archive processed emails
- Send notifications via Slack/Email
- Track email metrics

## Core Workflow Templates

### 1. Gmail Attachment Manager

**Purpose**: Automatically extract attachments from emails and save to Google Drive

**Workflow Steps**:
```
┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
│ Gmail       │───▶│ Filter by   │───▶│ Extract     │───▶│ Upload to   │
│ Trigger     │    │ Criteria    │    │ Attachments │    │ Google Drive│
└─────────────┘    └─────────────┘    └─────────────┘    └─────────────┘
                                                                │

```

**Configuration**:
```yaml
trigger:
  type: gmail_new_email
  filters:
    has_attachment: true
    from: ["*@company.com", "*@vendor.com"]
    subject_contains: ["invoice", "report", "contract"]

actions:
  - extract_attachments:
      file_types: [pdf, xlsx, docx, csv]
