How do I populate a Google Sheet with email URLs and business names when a specific email is received in Gmail?


kylemogli

I have 3 sections to my automation:

Gmail (new email search)

Filter (Custom business name)

google sheet (auto fills in email URL)

 

My question is how do I get the Filter (business name) to be in the google sheet along with the email URL?

You will have to set a static value here since the desired right side filter parameter value is not an available data point using one of the Zap design approaches previously shared.

 

OPTION 1

2 Zaps

1 Zap for each Company, set in the Filter step.

Then you can hardcode the desired company as a static value in to the GSheet step for the desired column

 

OPTION 2

Paths

1 Path per Company

Each Path has a Filter step

NOTE: Paths require the Zapier Professional plan or higher

Then you can hardcode the desired company as a static value in to the GSheet step for the desired column

If you wanted to know which passed the filter then you have 2 options:

 

OPTION 1

2 Zaps

1 Zap for each Company, set in the Filter step.

Then you can hardcode the desired company value in to the GSheet step for the desired column

 

OPTION 2

Paths

1 Path per Company

Each Path has a Filter step

NOTE: Paths require the Zapier Professional plan or higher

Then you can hardcode the desired company value in to the GSheet step for the desired column
