Labelled email → task in the log → reminder
Tag an email with one label and it becomes a task with a due date and an alert. One screen for everything that is waiting.

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
- Gmail detects a new email carrying the "task" label
- A row in the task log: sender, subject, link to the email, due = two days out
- A Telegram message: "New task — {subject}" with the link
The tools inside
- Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) →affiliate link
- 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.

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

What does not work in it
- Make polls Gmail on a schedule (15 minutes by default). It is not instant.
- The label has to be applied by hand. Auto-labelling by keyword produces tasks out of junk.

MORNING DIGESTEvery morning: what is due today → one message
At seven in the morning one Telegram message arrives with every task due today, by client. One screen to open the day, instead of five.
OVERDUE ALERTA task overdue by 3 days → an alert to the consultant, not the client
Overdue tasks do not disappear, they sink. Once a day, every open task 3 days late surfaces in one message — and whoever owns it sees it before the client asks.
LEAD ALERTLead comes in → logged → alert. No hands.
A form on the client site sends a lead; it is logged and an alert reaches Telegram in seconds. The first automation every consultant sets up.
