FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Airtable.

How do I send a personalized Gmail to every Airtable row in a view?
Drive the workflow from a "Send Email" checkbox column. When checked, the workflow reads the row, fills a Gmail template with field values, sends the email, and unchecks the box (or writes a "sent_at" timestamp) so it doesn't re-send.
Can I track if the recipient replied?
Yes — set the Gmail "References" header to a unique token (e.g., the Airtable record ID), then a Gmail "Email Received" trigger watches for replies whose References include that token and updates the matching Airtable row.
How do I avoid Gmail's sending limits when blasting from Airtable?
Gmail caps at ~500 sends/day per personal account, 2,000/day for Workspace. For higher volumes, route through SendGrid, Resend, or Postmark via Airtable instead; Gmail is best for small, conversational sends.
Can I attach a file from Airtable to the Gmail message?
Yes — pass the Airtable attachment URL into the Send Email action's attachments parameter. Gmail fetches the bytes server-side; works for files up to 25 MB.
How do I file new Gmail messages into the right Airtable table?
Use a Gmail label filter on the trigger (e.g., only mails labeled "support"). Then the workflow parses the message and creates a row in the Support Tickets table. Different labels → different downstream branches.
Can I run AI classification on the Gmail body before writing to Airtable?
Yes. Insert a Claude or OpenAI chat step between Gmail trigger and Airtable Create Record. Have the model classify intent, extract entities (company, product mentioned), or summarize; write the structured output to dedicated Airtable columns.
