Advanced: Forward multiple emails as attachments in Gmail

Gmail allows you to forward several emails at once by attaching them to a new message. This is useful when you want to send a batch of related emails to Noise.bot in a single step.

How it works

Instead of forwarding one by one, Gmail bundles the selected emails into .eml attachments inside a single email. Noise.bot receives those attachments, processes them just like forwarded emails, and replies with results to your inbox.

Steps

  1. In Gmail, select the emails you want to forward.

  2. Click the More menu (three dots) at the top.

  3. Choose Forward as attachment.

  4. A new message will open with the selected emails attached as .eml files.

  5. Enter [email protected] in the “To” field.

  6. Optionally, add a question in the body of the email.

  7. Send the message.

Noise.bot will process all the attached emails together and reply with a combined analysis.

Note: Gmail doesn’t have a strict limit on the number of emails you can attach, but the total size of the message (including all attachments) cannot exceed Gmail’s 25MB limit. If your batch of emails is larger than this, you’ll need to split them into smaller groups.

Example uses

  • Forward multiple customer feedback threads and ask: “Summarize the recurring themes.”

  • Forward a set of meeting recap emails and ask: “Pull out the action items across all meetings.”
