**Summary**: When an email is received in Gmail, notify me through a message in Slack.

**Applications**: Gmail, Slack

**Description**: This example explains how to create a workflow that automatically send you a notification on Slack when a new email arrives in your Gmail. This example uses a Google Workspace trigger activity, [Email Received](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/google-workspace-trigger-new-email-received), and a Slack activity, [Send message to user](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/uipath-salesforce-slack-send-message-to-user).

## Workflow

A [Studio Web template](https://cloud.uipath.com/portal_/cloudrpa?redirectPath=studio_/templates/f37eb6a4-31ea-4f82-b7a3-f8d2c988c38d) is available for this use case.

1. Open Studio Web and create a new project.
2. For **How to start the automation** select **Event based**, then select the Google Workspace [Email Received](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/productivity/google-workspace-trigger-new-email-received)
3. In the trigger activity:
