Some other examples of searches you could try. You can learn more about Gmail’s search here. So first, just make sure your search is right. In Zapier, we can say “every time an email comes in that matches this search, send me a notification”. In this case we’re searching for “Auto quote submitted for Accounting job” oneflareĪnd we can see that the emails are shown below. Instead, let’s see how you can trigger a workflow from this email.įirst, go to Gmail and create a search that finds only these emails But email is a pretty crappy platform for that. If you’re that architect, you want to reply to that person ASAP to increase your chances of getting the job. The one above is from On eFlare, which is like Houzz, but for all types of businesses, not just professionals.

The architect receives an email that look like the one below.Client finds one they like and requests a quote.There are lots of “directory” sites that help connect businesses with people looking for services.įor example, Houzz is a site where a client goes to find home improvement professionals. One that I see a lot with my clients is when they receive leads by email. “New email matching search” is an amazing trigger that can help you process emails, or let you trigger alerts when you receive a very specific type of email. Now let’s have a look at some workflow ideas for these triggers and actions. If you’d like to learn more about how searches work, consider taking my Zapier Mastery course. In the screenshots above, you’ll notice there are “searches” as well, but for this post they are getting a bit too advanced. I have bolded the ones that I think are the most useful, which you’ll learn more about in this post. Here are the triggers available as I write this.
