Connect Gmail to Slack
When a new email arrives in Gmail, Genexti posts a message to the right channel in Slack automatically, with an AI writing the content on the way through. You describe it in plain English, and there is nothing to code and no separate AI subscription to buy.
The inbox is where work arrives and where it quietly dies. Routing it out is the whole game. Your team sees it where they already are, in seconds, without checking another tool.

Three of the most common ways teams wire these two together. Each one is a single workflow in Genexti.
A new email arrives → Post a message to the right channel
The moment a new email arrives in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and posts a message to the right channel in Slack.
An email matching a label lands → Start a threaded discussion for the team
The moment an email matching a label lands in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and starts a threaded discussion for the team in Slack.
An enquiry hits your shared inbox → Send a direct message to the owner
The moment an enquiry hits your shared inbox in Gmail, Genexti reads the email, lets an AI write it up properly, and sends a direct message to the owner in Slack.
How to connect Gmail to Slack
Describe it in plain English
Type what you want. Something like "when a new email arrives in Gmail, post a message to the right channel in Slack". Genexti's AI builds the whole workflow, both steps included, and lays it out on the canvas so you can see exactly what it will do.
Connect both accounts once
Connect Gmail and Slack from the connections screen. You only do this once, and every future workflow reuses the same connection, and credentials are stored encrypted, never in the workflow itself.
Run it, then turn it on
Run it once and inspect the real output of each step. When it looks right, activate it. From then on it runs by itself, and you can see every execution with its full input and output.
Why use Genexti for this instead of Zapier?
Most tools can move a email from Gmail into Slack. The difference is what happens in between. Genexti includes the AI, so the email arrives in Slack already summarised, categorised and written up like a person did it, instead of a raw dump of fields. And because the AI is part of the platform, it isn't metered separately or billed per task.
Genexti is also a website builder and a code IDE in the same account, so the same subscription that runs this automation also builds the site the email came from.
Questions about Gmail and Slack
How do I connect Gmail to Slack?
In Genexti you describe it in plain English. Say "when a new email arrives in Gmail, post a message to the right channel in Slack" and the AI builds the workflow, both steps included. You connect each account once and it runs on its own from then on.
Do I need to write any code?
No. There is nothing to install and no script to maintain. If you want to see the detail, every step opens into an advanced view where you can edit fields, expressions and the raw JSON. You never have to.
Can the AI write the content that goes into Slack?
Yes, and that's the difference. Genexti includes the AI, so an AI step can summarise the email, pull out the fields that matter and phrase a message properly before it reaches Slack. There's no separate AI subscription and no per-task AI charge.
Is connecting Gmail and Slack free?
You can build and run this on the free plan without a credit card. Paid plans lift the limits, and the AI is included on every plan instead of being billed per task.
