Set up your Email by Zapier trigger
First, set up your trigger—the event that starts your Zap. Search for and select Email by Zapier as the trigger app and New Inbound Email as the trigger event. Click Continue.
Note: If you started with the Zap template above, this part will already be done for you.
Next, customize the email address that Zapier has already set up for you. This is a series of random letters and numbers followed by @zapiermail.com.
Before the pre-set characters, Zapier will ask you to add in a word. In this instance, we've used the word gdrive
, but it can be any combination of letters and numbers you choose, as long as it's in lowercase. Copy the email address to your clipboard and add it to your address book.
Once you've done this, click Continue.
Next, send a new email to that email address with an attached file so when you test the Zap, it can pull up the email as a record.
Now you need to test the trigger. Zapier will find the email you've just sent to your customized email address. This will be used to set up the rest of your Zap.
Click Test trigger. Once you see that the trigger is working properly, click Continue.
Can you save Outlook emails to Google Drive?

If users save Outlook emails to Google Drive, users can access their emails through Google Drive when Outlook does not respond, and there is no need to worry about emails being lost due to program errors or system crashes.

You’d better backup Outlook emails to Google Drive with third-party tool
Although you can upload files to the cloud via the Google Drive website, once you have a large amount of data, the method will be very slow, and you can’t close the page halfway through, or the task will stop. Use third-party tools to directly transfer files from the desktop to Google Drive, such as the free data backup software – CBackup, which only needs to be set once, and then you can easily upload Outlook emails from your computer to Google Drive from external hard drive disk, USB and other local locations.
Step 1. Download the CBackup, install and run it. Create an account and sign in to this software.
Secure Download
Step 2. Click My Storage > Add Cloud to choose Google Drive to add. Sign in to your Google Drive account to allow CBackup access files in your account.
Step 3. Go to Backup Tasks > New Task to create a Google Drive backup task.
Step 4. Click Add Source > Local Files to select the location where you saved Outlook emails, click Add Destination to choose Single Cloud > Google Drive.
Step 5. Then click Settings at the bottom of the page, select the Scheduled Backup tab, and then select specific time or automatic backup frequency according to your needs.
Step 6. After confirming your automatic backup frequency, click Start Backup to start backing up Outlook emails from Windows PC to Google Drive.
Step 2: Forward your invoice email to your Parseur mailbox
