Gmail and Slack integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Gmail and Slack and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Gmail and Slack
Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Build your own Gmail and Slack integration
