Hey Airtable community! As of today, you can now trigger automations when you receive an email, so you can turn your inbox into insights! 🎉  You can use automations to extract data such as the content, sender, and even attachments. Then use AI and automations to analyze and take action on that data.  This highly-requested feature allows you to turn unstructured email content into a clean data set that your organization can actually use to power workflows and make decisions.  For example, product teams constantly receive valuable customer feedback over email. But what happens to it? Is the same request being received from several customers? Did anyone close the loop? Now, you can track feedback received via email, extract insights, and close the loop.
