Hello,
Thank you for bringing this up. It sounds like an interesting project, and I'm happy to share some insights that might help you get started.
Add a Gmail API Key: You'll need to set up the Gmail API via the Google Cloud Console and generate an API key. This will allow Power Automate to connect securely to your Gmail account.
Add Your Business Gmail to Outlook: Make sure your Gmail account is set up correctly in Outlook using IMAP/SMTP settings. This will enable smooth synchronization and access.
Analyze the Content of the Mails: Power Automate Desktop offers a variety of actions to read and filter emails. Depending on your requirements, you can set up specific conditions to analyze and extract relevant information.
Export to Excel: Once you've processed the emails, use Power Automate Desktop's Excel actions to automate writing the summary data into a spreadsheet.
These are just a few pointers, and there's certainly more to consider based on the specifics of your workflow. Feel free to ask if you need further details or run into any issues—happy to help!
Thank you.
