You coordinate jobs for a 6-person trades crew sorting 40 Gmail enquiry emails a day, and this Gmail classification workflow labels and logs each one. Each enquiry needs opening, job type decided, and logging before dispatch.
You open each email, decide the job type, then log it for dispatch. When a new Gmail message arrives, the flow classifies with AI and writes the Sheets row with audit trail. You just dispatch from the sheet instead of digging through the inbox.
