Install the Gmail Add-on

Find Quicktion in the Google Workspace Marketplace

You can install the Quicktion Gmail add-on in two ways:

  1. Direct link -- Go to the Quicktion listing on the Google Workspace Marketplace.
  2. Search -- Open the Google Workspace Marketplace, type "Quicktion" in the search bar, and select it from the results.

Install the Add-on

Click the Install button on the Quicktion listing page. Google will ask you to review and grant the required permissions:

  • Read your email messages -- Quicktion reads the email you choose to save so it can extract the subject, sender, date, body, and attachments.
  • Connect to an external service -- Quicktion connects to the Quicktion server and the Notion, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Airtable, Linear, and Trello APIs to save your emails.

Click Allow to finish the installation.

Open the Add-on in Gmail

After installation, open Gmail in your browser. Look at the right sidebar -- the narrow icon strip where you see Google Calendar, Keep, and other add-on icons. The Quicktion icon will appear there.

Click the Quicktion icon to open the add-on panel in the sidebar.

If you don't see the sidebar, click the small arrow at the bottom-right of Gmail to expand it.

First-Time Setup

Sign in

The first time you open the Quicktion panel, you will be prompted to sign in with your Google account. This links your Gmail to your Quicktion account.

Connect your Notion workspace

After signing in, click Connect Notion. You will be redirected to Notion's authorization page. Select the workspace you want to use and grant Quicktion access to the databases where you want to save emails.

Once connected, the add-on is ready. Open any email and click the Quicktion icon to start saving emails to Notion.

Connect Google Sheets

If you want to save emails to Google Sheets, click Connect Google. You will be redirected to Google's authorization page. Grant Quicktion access to Sheets and Drive, then select the spreadsheet where you want to save emails.

Connect Google Drive

If you want emails saved as PDFs in a Drive folder instead of a spreadsheet, click Connect Google. It's the same connection Google Sheets uses, so if you've already connected Google there's nothing more to do. When you create a destination on a Google connection, the add-on asks whether it should be Google Sheets or Google Drive.

Creating a Drive destination from the add-on makes a folder for you, named Quicktion — {destination name}. To point it at a folder you already have, or to change how subfolders are named, open the destination in the dashboard. See connect Google Drive.

Connect Airtable

If you want to save emails to Airtable, click Connect Airtable. You will be redirected to Airtable's authorization page. Grant Quicktion access, then select the base and table where you want to save emails.

Connect Linear

If you want to save emails as Linear issues, click Connect Linear. You will be redirected to Linear's authorization page. Grant Quicktion access, then select the team where you want to create issues.

Connect Trello

If you want to save emails as Trello cards, click Connect Trello. You will be redirected to Atlassian's authorization page. Grant Quicktion access, then select the board and list where you want to create cards.

You can connect any combination of Notion, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Airtable, Linear, and Trello — each destination you create can use any integration.
