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.
