What it does

Turns the flood of "Welcome to…" and "Confirm your email" SaaS onboarding messages into a clean signal: every time an employee creates an account on a new tool, it captures which app and who signed up, then routes unsanctioned ones to review.

When to use it

Use it when employees forward (or auto-BCC) signup confirmations to a shared mailbox, or when you can route such mail by rule, and you want lightweight shadow-IT detection without touching network logs.

How it works

  1. 1A new message in the monitored Gmail mailbox triggers the flow.
  2. 2An OpenAI step classifies whether the email is a SaaS signup/verification and extracts the app name and signer.
  3. 3A logic step skips messages that aren't signups or whose app is already on the approved list.
  4. 4A Linear security-intake issue is created with the app, employee, and original email link.
  5. 5A Slack message notifies the security reviewer with the extracted details.
