Auto Archiving

A permanently clean inbox.

Your inbox is a chaotic archive of things you meant to file.

Receipts, invoices, contracts, reports, they all arrive in your inbox and stay there. Finding anything later is a manual search through thousands of emails. Filing things manually takes time you never actually spend.

Step by step.

We handle the entire setup. Here's exactly what happens under the hood once it's live.

01
Email arrives in Gmail
A receipt, invoice, or document lands in your inbox. Zapier detects it based on rules you set, sender, subject line, or attachment type.
02
Zapier reads and categorises
The email is analysed: is it an invoice? A contract? A report? The category determines which Drive folder it goes to.
03
Filed to Google Drive
The email body or attachment is saved to the correct Drive folder, organised by client name, document type, and month automatically.
04
Gmail label applied
The original email is labelled and archived in Gmail. Your inbox stays clean, and everything is findable in Drive in seconds.

The tools involved.

Everything works with software you already use. No new platforms to learn.
