Automatically extract email metrics using Nylas CLI, analyze patterns in Google Sheets, and get Slack alerts when engagement drops or spikes.

Workflow Steps

1

Nylas CLI

Extract email metrics data

Use Nylas CLI to pull email engagement data (opens, clicks, response rates) from your email provider and export to CSV format on a scheduled basis

2

Google Sheets

Import and analyze data

Set up a Google Sheet that automatically imports the CSV data and creates pivot tables to track trends like response rates, peak email times, and engagement by recipient domain

3

Google Apps Script

Create trend detection logic

Write a simple script that compares current week's metrics to previous weeks and identifies significant changes (>20% increase/decrease in key metrics)

4

Slack

Send automated alerts

Configure the script to send formatted alerts to your team Slack channel when email performance drops below threshold or shows unusual patterns
