Listen to New Emails in Gmail

In this guide, we’ll:

  1. 🔐 Connect your Gmail account with Composio
  2. 🛠 Enable Triggers to listen to new emails in Gmail
  3. 🧠 Pass these triggers event payloads to an AI language model to identify bank transactions
  4. ⭐ Execute an action from Gmail tool to add important label to relevant emails

Tools represent a group of actions specific to an app. Actions are operations you can perform - like starring a repo on GitHub or creating an issue in Linear.
