Turn Emails With Attachments Into Trello Cards With Saved Files
When an email with attachments arrives, saves the files to Google Drive, summarizes the request with AI, and creates a Trello card linking the stored files plus a due date.

What it does
Emails that carry documents (invoices, signed contracts, briefs) usually mean work plus a file you need to keep. This flow catches incoming mail that has attachments, saves each file to a dated Google Drive folder, uses AI to summarize what the email is asking for and detect any deadline, and then creates a Trello card that links straight to the stored files so nothing is buried in your inbox.
When to use it
Reach for this when the actionable part of your email comes with documents you must retain and reference later. It suits finance, legal, and operations roles that process a steady stream of attachment-heavy requests.
How it works
- 1An email with one or more attachments arrives in Gmail and triggers the flow.
- 2A logic step confirms attachments are present and skips plain emails.
- 3Each attachment is uploaded to a dated folder in Google Drive.
- 4OpenAI summarizes the request and extracts any deadline.
- 5A Trello card is created with the summary, links to the saved files, and the due date.
