Having a property in your Notion database storing the last email date in a thread is useful for several reasons:

• to followup after a set number of days
• to automatically close a conversation that didn’t get any answer
• to automatically re-open a closed conversation when a new email is received
• etc.

This can easily be achieved by using the Last email date property.

How to set it up

To get started with the Last email date property, follow these steps:

1. Create a Date property in your Notion database, e.g. "Last Email Date".

2. Go to your Slap syncs list and click on Edit.

3. In the Last email date property field, select the Notion property you created in step 1. ****

4. Save your sync.

   

How it works

The last email date property updates automatically anytime a new email is exchanged in the email thread, so:

• When you send a new email in the thread (from Notion or from Gmail).
• When you receive a new email in thread.

Automation examples

Here are some examples of how you can use this property to create automations in Notion.
