You receive 120 emails a day. Maybe 10 of them contain something you need to do. Finding those 10 means reading or scanning all 120. That is 28% of your workday spent on email, according to McKinsey research. A proper email management app should handle this inbox management for you.

The action items in your email are not the emails themselves. They are buried inside the emails, a sentence in paragraph three that says 'can you send the report by Friday.' Email to task automation with Gmail automation extracts the needle from the haystack so you can focus on doing, not searching.

## How It Works

### 1. Connect Gmail via OAuth

One-time setup in Mursa Settings. Standard Google OAuth flow. You grant read access to incoming emails.

### 2. Gmail push notification triggers processing

When a new email arrives, Gmail sends a push notification to Mursa via Google Pub/Sub. The email is processed immediately.

### 3. Pre-filter removes noise

Before AI processing, a filter checks against 30+ noreply patterns, 50+ automation domains, and 25+ subject line patterns, catching most of what's non-actionable before it ever reaches the AI step.

### 4. AI extracts the action item

For emails that pass the filter, AI (Google Gemini) reads the content and extracts: task title, category (client reply, action required, review, follow-up, scheduling, payment), priority, and due date.

### 5. Task appears in your inbox

A new task appears in Mursa with the action item, priority, due date, and a direct link to the original email in Gmail.

## What Syncs

- Incoming email content (processed in real time, not stored)
- Extracted task title and description
- Category (client-reply, action-required, review-approval, follow-up, scheduling, payment, reply-needed)
- Auto-detected priority and due date
- Link to original email in Gmail

## What Does Not Sync

- Full email body (processed in real time, discarded after extraction)
- Email attachments
- Sent emails or drafts
- Contact lists or Gmail settings
- Calendar events (separate integration)
- Task completion back to email (no auto-reply)

## Privacy

Email content is processed in real time by AI and discarded immediately. Only the extracted task summary and a link to the original email are stored in your Mursa account. We never store the full email body, attachments, or any email metadata beyond what is needed for the task. All processing happens server-side with encrypted connections.

*This feature is currently in testing while we go through Google's verification process. It works, but you may see a consent warning during setup until approval is complete.*

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is my email content stored?

No. Email content is processed in real time and discarded immediately. Only the extracted task summary and email link are saved.

### What if I do not want certain emails to become tasks?

You can review and delete any auto-created task. The pre-filter also catches most non-actionable emails before AI processing.

### Does this work with Google Workspace accounts?

Yes. The integration works with personal Gmail and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) accounts.

### Why am I seeing a consent warning?

Mursa is currently in Google's verification process. The warning is standard for apps in testing. Your data is handled securely regardless of verification status.
