Gmail - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents

Gmail can be connected with Documentero to automatically create documents whenever new emails arrive. By setting up triggers, emails with specific subjects, attachments, or senders can generate ready-to-use .docx, .pdf, or .xlsx files. This helps turn incoming messages into structured documents without manual copying or formatting.
