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.

Chris
