Quick summary
This tutorial shows how to connect Gmail to Miro using a Zapier automation that detects new email attachments and automatically creates or copies a Miro board. No manual file transfer needed — once published, the Zap runs in the background every time a matching Gmail message arrives.
Steps
- Click Trigger in the Zapier editor to begin setting up your Gmail-to-Miro workflow.
- Select Gmail as your trigger app to monitor incoming messages and attachments.
- Choose the specific Gmail event — such as New Attachment — that will start your automation.
- Connect your Gmail account so Zapier can securely access your messages.
- Select the Gmail labels you want to filter, such as Inbox and all labels, to control which messages activate the Zap.
- Select the CHAT label to focus the automation on chat-related emails specifically.
- Add any additional attachment filters to ensure only the right files are passed through to Miro.
- Click Test trigger to verify that Zapier can pull a real sample from your Gmail account.
- Select Miro as your action app to define what happens with the Gmail attachments.
- Choose the Miro action — such as Copy Board — to specify how content from Gmail will be handled.
- Connect your Miro account to authorize board creation.
- Pick an existing Miro template to use as the blueprint for new boards generated by the automation.
- Adjust additional Miro board settings such as board name, privacy, or team access.
- Click Test step to confirm the Miro action works correctly with the sample Gmail data.
- Once the test passes, click Publish to activate your Zap and go live.
