What can you do with it?
- Get urgent mail on your phone
- Leave the rest of the inbox for later
- Keep the reason in the alert
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Gmail: New Email
- Then Taskade AI: Ask an agent ("Inbox Watch")
- Then Filter: continue only when the email is urgent
- Then Pushover: Send Notification
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Inbox Watch" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your key clients and what counts as urgent, remembers which emails you treated as urgent, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
