Move an ad-hoc ask out of your inbox and into the system
Forward an email to Carly and she'll turn it into a structured Notion task — title, due date, priority, and a link back to the original — so ad-hoc asks stop living in your inbox.
What Carly does
- 01 Resolve the message and fetch the body
- 02 Extract title, due date, priority, and sender from the body
- 03 Inspect the target Notion database schema
- 04 Create the task row with a Source link back to the email
- 05 Return the new page URL
Nothing falls through the cracks
Emails become structured Notion tasks with the deadline parsed out — zero manual transcription.
Email this to Carly to kick it off.

Hey Carly, I'm forwarding you an email that's really an ad-hoc ask, and I want it living in Notion instead of my inbox. Can you pull the body, extract a clean imperative title, parse the due date out of phrases like "by Friday" or "EOD Thursday," and set priority to High if the sender used urgent or asap? Check the schema on my tasks database first so the property names line up, then create the row with title, due date, priority, who it's assigned by, and a Source link back to the original email. Send me the new page URL when it's in. Thanks!
