Gmail emails

Emails often serve as the starting point for so many workflows - like a request from a colleague to make a presentation from sales numbers they'll email you. Why not save yourself the trouble of having to check for that one email and instead have them automatically forwarded to Workflowy. Then once it arrives, you can start building the presentation outline directly from the email content.

Note: There is a Google policy that prevents @gmail.com and @googlemail.com accounts from sending information to many apps, including Workflowy so this template requires a bit more setup to make it work.
