Trigger on gmail primary catagory

Hi, 

Gmail integrations are powerful, but it’s expensive to trigger on ALL of them. Gmail categories does a ton of work to reduce that clutter…. so how do we trigger zaps on those categories?

Without manually labeling or moving gmails between categories (that’s the point), there is no way of triggering a zap on JUST the primary category. I can’t filter in gmail based on category (and label it), and I can’t trigger a zap based on its category.  

We all read our primary gmails first, but has anyone worked out how to trigger a zap based on the primary category? This would reduce the cost by, 80% or so.

Thanks,
Chris
