01 / SETUP

Get ready

  1. In Gemini Apps, connect the Google Workspace app if your account and organization allow it.
  2. Identify the project name, sender, and date range so Gemini has a narrow target.
02 / PROMPT

Give it this

Using my connected Gmail, find messages about [project] from [sender or team] between [start date] and [end date]. Summarize confirmed decisions, owners, deadlines, and unresolved questions. For each item, point me to the source message and distinguish what was explicitly agreed from your inference. If you cannot access the relevant email or the thread is incomplete, say so.

03 / WORKFLOW

Make it useful

  1. Open the source messages and check the owners and dates against the thread.
  2. Resolve any conflicting or missing updates with the sender.
  3. Send the checked summary through your normal team channel.

One thing to check. Workspace connection depends on account and administrator settings. Gemini cannot access every Gmail element; review source messages before sharing.
