Inblox Alternative

Inblox forwards email to Notion. Quicktion does that, plus five more tools.

Inblox is a good, cheap forwarding tool for Notion. Quicktion covers the same flow and adds a Gmail add-on, AI extraction from the body and the attachments, and Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, and Google Drive as destinations.

Free plan includes 25 emails/month. No credit card required.

Works with Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, and Google Drive

Why people switch from Inblox

Forwarding only

Inblox has no Gmail add-on. Quicktion has both: forwarding rules for the automated flow, and a sidebar button in Gmail to save one email with a preview and the option to edit values first.

Properties come from the subject line

Inblox fills properties from tags you type into the subject before forwarding. Neat, and predictable, but it only knows what you typed. Quicktion Pro reads the body and the PDF or image attachments and fills the properties from what's in them: the amount on the invoice, the date in the confirmation, the name of the client.

Notion is the only destination

Receipts in a spreadsheet, leads in Airtable, bug reports in Linear, contracts as PDFs in Drive: Inblox can't do any of them. Quicktion covers Notion plus those five from one account.

Bigger picture on the activity feed

Quicktion shows every email that came in, the destination it went to, and the reason if it failed, across all your destinations in one place.

When Inblox is the better choice

Inblox is the better choice if Notion is your only destination, you don't need AI, and price decides it. The free plan is four times the size of Quicktion's, Pro is $4.99, and the subject-line tags are a tidy way to set a status or a tag without any setup. For a solo Notion user forwarding newsletters or receipts, it's hard to argue with.

When Quicktion is the better choice

Quicktion is the better choice if you want a Gmail add-on, if you want AI to fill properties from the email itself rather than from what you type in the subject, or if any of your emails need to land in Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, or a Drive folder.

How to switch from Inblox

4
