MCP Media Inbox Triage
Use this skill when a marketing, PR, community, or partnerships team needs a lightweight triage layer for a shared Gmail inbox.
What This Skill Does
Searches a configured Gmail inbox or label in a bounded window.
Reads only the message context needed for classification.
Classifies each message as media request, partnership inquiry, customer/community lead, urgent executive risk, vendor pitch, spam/no action, or unclear.
Scores urgency and recommends the right owner.
Routes relevant requests to Slack, Google Sheets, or a triage doc.
Drafts suggested replies only for human review.
When You Need This Pattern
A shared inbox mixes press requests, creator pitches, partnership notes, customer signals, newsletters, and vendor spam.
One person spends time each week skimming every email just to find the real asks.
The team needs human review before any reply is sent.
The team already works in Gmail, Slack, and Google Sheets.
You want a practical Zapier MCP workflow that saves attention, not just time.
