Tools that fit

Watch out for

PII in email bodies may violate GDPR so strip sensitive data before logging to Sheets.
Slack message length limits can truncate notifications so summarize content using an LLM first.
Duplicate emails can clutter the sheet so implement a deduplication check based on message ID.
API rate limits from Gmail can block processing so add exponential backoff logic.
