Automate Gmail Work Order Acceptance
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a small, reliable script that connects to my Gmail inbox, detects new work-order emails, and automatically clicks or follows the embedded acceptance link so the job is confirmed without manual effort.
Key points
• Platform: Gmail.
• Work-orders arrive as emails that contain embedded links (no attachments).
• Primary task: accept each work order as soon as it arrives.
What I’m expecting
1. A lightweight solution—Google Apps Script, a Python Gmail API script, or a similar approach that runs in the background.
2. Clear parameters so I can specify which senders or subject lines should trigger the auto-accept.
3. Basic logging or a simple Google Sheet confirming date, time, and status of each acceptance.
4. Step-by-step setup instructions so I can deploy and tweak the script on my own.
Nice to have (not required right now): automatic foldering or scheduling once the acceptance flow is solid.
If you’ve handled Gmail automation before, especially actions that follow links or buttons inside incoming messages, I’d love to see a quick outline of your approach and any relevant examples.
