Labelled email → task in the log → reminder

The problem

The business’s real tasks live in emails. "Remind me", "get back to him Tuesday", "need to send a quote" — and there is no single place that shows them all.

What happens when it runs

1. Gmail detects a new email carrying the "task" label
2. A row in the task log: sender, subject, link to the email, due = two days out
3. A Telegram message: "New task — {subject}" with the link

The tools inside

Disclosure: links marked "paid link" pay us a commission from the vendor if you sign up. Your price is unchanged, and every file here works without them. How we choose tools →

• Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) → paid link · we earn a commission
• Gmail — email
• Google Sheets — log and lists
• Telegram — alerts

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

• The Gmail label name
• Spreadsheet id
• Telegram Chat ID

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

• Task log · date | from | subject | link | due | status (Sent with the blueprint by email)

How to import (2 minutes)

1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON
