We get new customer signup emails in our team Gmail but nobody notices them for hours. I want instant alerts in our #new-customers Slack channel.

Easy — I'll connect your Gmail and watch for new signup emails. Let me link your inbox first so I can see what those emails look like.

Gmail Inbox Connected

team@yourcompany.com · monitoring incoming

The subject line always starts with "New signup:" and includes the customer name and email in the body.

Got it. I've set up a filter for those emails and connected your Slack workspace. Every time one arrives, I'll post the customer name and email to #new-customers instantly.

Real-time alerts with customer name + email

Can it also ping me directly if a signup comes in from a company domain instead of a free email?

Done. If the signup email is from a company domain like @acme.com, I'll send you a direct Slack message in addition to the channel post — so you can personally follow up on high-value leads immediately.

Common questions about new customer alerts.

With Adaptive, you connect your Gmail inbox and your Slack workspace, then describe what a signup email looks like — for example, "subject starts with New signup" or "emails from noreply@myapp.com."

Adaptive monitors your Gmail inbox for specific email patterns — like new customer signups — and posts a notification to Slack the moment one arrives.
