Gmail Automation & Templates

I need my Gmail account turned into a smooth, self-running system. The first task is to build professional email templates and set up automatic replies so I can respond consistently without typing the same messages over and over. My larger goal is to link Gmail with another service—whether that’s a CRM, a project-management tool, or a marketing platform—so data moves instantly between systems. If you’re comfortable with Zapier, Google Workspace Add-ons, or Apps Script, let me know; I’m open to the method that delivers reliable two-way syncing. Finally, I want my inbox to clean itself. Create smart filters and automatic sorting rules that label incoming mail exactly where it belongs. By the end, I should see new messages drop into the right folders without any manual drag-and-drop. Key deliverables: • Ready-to-use email templates plus auto-reply rules • Seamless integration connecting Gmail to the external tool/service • A complete set of filters with labels for hands-free inbox organization • A brief hand-off guide so I can tweak things later if needed If you have a proven track record scripting or automating Gmail, I’d love to hear how you’d tackle this.
