Automatically capture tasks from emails, messages, and voice notes, then organize them into a centralized Notion life management system with AI categorization.

Workflow Steps

Capture task-related emails

Set up Gmail filters to automatically forward emails containing task keywords (like 'deadline', 'reminder', 'action item') to a dedicated processing email address

Zapier

Parse and categorize emails

Create a Zapier workflow that triggers on new emails, uses OpenAI to extract task details and categorize them (work, personal, health, finance), then formats the data for Notion

Build a Notion database with properties for task name, category, priority, due date, and status. Set up views for daily/weekly planning and life area dashboards

4

Zapier

Auto-populate Notion database
