How to summarize unread Gmail and send to Telegram (plus forward)
Triage unread mail without opening the inbox: Clara reads unread messages, writes a short summary, sends it to Telegram, and can forward the originals to another email address.
Who this is for
Founders, operators, and anyone who lives in Gmail but wants a faster morning triage channel. You get a scannable digest on Telegram while keeping a copy forwarded to a colleague or personal inbox.
What Clara builds
A typical workflow looks like this:
- Read Gmail — query
is:unread(or a stricter filter you choose) - Condition — skip the rest if the inbox is empty (no wasted AI calls)
- Summarize — bullet-point digest of subjects, senders, and key points
- Telegram — deliver the summary to your chat
- Gmail send — forward the unread messages to a named recipient
This is dual delivery: one content pipeline, two output channels. Clara wires both automatically from your goal — you do not drag nodes or map fields manually.
Example goal to paste in Clara
Use natural language — Clara will clarify schedule and recipients if needed:
Check my unread emails. If there are any, summarize them and send the summary to Telegram. Also forward those emails to colleague@company.com.
Setup checklist
- Install Clara on Android or the App Store.
- Sign in and connect Gmail (read + send permissions).
- Connect Telegram and confirm your chat pairing.
- Paste the goal above (edit the forward address).
- Review the generated steps, pick a schedule (e.g. daily at 9:00), and save.
Tips for better summaries
- Narrow the Gmail query if you only care about a label or sender (
is:unread from:boss@company.com). - In the editor, set summarize format to Bullets and cap length to keep Telegram readable.
- Enable push notifications so you know when the run finishes even if Telegram delivery is delayed.
What if there is no unread mail?
Clara’s condition step stops the pipeline early. You will not get spam empty summaries, and you will not burn credits summarizing an empty inbox.
