Save an Email with the Add-on

Open an Email

Go to your Gmail inbox and open the email you want to save.

Open the Quicktion Panel

Click the Quicktion icon in the right sidebar of Gmail. The add-on panel will open and load the details of the email you have open.

Select a Destination

The panel shows your available destinations. Each destination is linked to a Notion database, Google spreadsheet, or Airtable table. Choose the one where you want to save this email.

If you have only one destination, it will be selected automatically.

Edit Fields Before Saving

Quicktion pre-fills fields from the email:

• Subject -- the email subject line.
• From -- the sender's name and email address.
• Date -- when the email was received.

You can edit any of these values before saving. You can also fill in additional fields that your destination supports, such as tags, status, priority, or notes.

Save the Email

Click Save. Quicktion sends the email to your chosen destination and creates a new record.

You will see a confirmation message in the panel when the save is complete.

What Gets Saved

When you save an email, Quicktion creates a new record with:

• Subject -- the email subject (or whatever you entered in the subject field).
• Fields -- all the fields you filled in or left as pre-filled values, including any default values configured on the destination.
• Email body -- the full email body with formatting preserved. For Notion, it becomes the page content as Notion blocks. For Google Sheets, it is saved as rich text with clickable links. For Airtable, it is saved as markdown in a long text or rich text field.
• Attachments -- if your destination has an attachment field mapped, files are uploaded directly. For Notion, they appear in the page. For Google Sheets, they are uploaded to a Drive folder and linked. For Airtable, they are uploaded to the attachment field.
