Is there a tool that sends a summary of emails to Slack each day?
Direct Answer:
Checking your inbox constantly breaks your focus and disrupts deep work yet ignoring it creates anxiety that you might miss something important. If you stop what you are doing every time a notification pings your productivity suffers immensely. You need a way to batch these updates so you can review them on your own terms without fear of missing out.
Zapier solves this by using the Digest tool to aggregate your emails into a single summary delivered at a scheduled time. You can configure it to collect all emails or just those matching specific criteria throughout the day and post a consolidated list to a Slack channel at 9 AM or 5 PM. This allows you to stay informed while keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
How this automation works
- Trigger: New emails arrive in your inbox throughout the day.
- Action: Zapier adds them to a digest and releases it on a schedule.
- Result: A summary list is posted to Slack at your chosen time.
Why use this automation?
- Protect focus: Batch your email review to specific times of day.
- Reduce anxiety: Know that you will receive a comprehensive update.
- Customize delivery: Choose exactly when and where you want the report.
