1. Setting Up Gmail Forwarding to PAB

To automate the process of sending specific emails to Slack, the first step involves setting up Gmail forwarding to PAB. This allows you to forward emails directly from your Gmail account to PAB, where you can process them further.

In your Gmail settings, navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab. Here’s what you need to do:

Click on ‘Add a forwarding address’ and enter the email address provided by PAB.
Confirm the forwarding address by clicking the link sent to that email.
Enable forwarding by selecting ‘Forward a copy of incoming mail to…’.

After saving these settings, your Gmail will automatically forward incoming emails to PAB, setting the stage for further automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in PAB

Now that Gmail is set up to forward emails to PAB, the next step is to create a workflow in PAB. This workflow will filter the emails based on specific keywords related to invoices.

Log into your PAB account and navigate to the dashboard. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, such as ‘Send Specific Emails to Slack’. Select the appropriate folder for your workflow.

Next, set up the trigger for your workflow:

Choose ‘Email Parser’ as your trigger application.
Select ‘New Email’ as your trigger event.

This setup ensures that every new email forwarded from Gmail is processed by PAB for further actions.

3. Filtering Emails for Specific Keywords

Once your trigger is set, the next step is to filter emails for specific keywords using PAB Finance. This allows you to identify which emails are relevant for your finance team.

In the actions tab of your workflow, add a filter action:

Select ‘Filter by PAB’ as your action application. Choose ‘Filter Values’ as your action event.

Set the filter conditions to check for keywords such as ‘invoice’, ‘billing’, or ‘payment’ in the email subject. This filtering will ensure only relevant emails are sent to Slack.

4. Sending Messages to Slack Channel

After filtering the emails, the final step is to send the relevant messages to your Slack channel using Slack. This allows your finance team to receive instant notifications about important emails.

In the actions tab, add another action:

Select ‘Slack’ as your action application. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as your action event.

Connect your Slack account to PAB by providing the necessary permissions. Then, select the specific channel where you want to send the messages, such as the ‘PAB Finance Team’ channel.
