Create a DeployHQ excluded file rule from a sent email
Make the sent approval the reliable signal for updating deployment exclusions.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Create Excluded File
Tool to add a new excluded file to a project. Use when you need to exclude specific files or patterns from deployment to prevent them from being deployed to servers.
