How this automation works

Keep your Flapz board up to date automatically with new data from received emails. This runs whenever you send an email to your IFTTT address, optionally including an attachment, and updates your selected Flapz board with that information. Perfect for automating data capture from emailed PDFs or reports. Customize the message to fit your tone.
