Create a free Zapier account if you haven't already, and log in

Go to Admin > Integrations, and select "Use this Zap" next to the row titled "Send Gmail emails when assets uploaded to Dash"
​

Or click this link to jump straight to the template and click "Try this template"

Click the trigger step (called "New Asset in Dash")

Click through each section

If this is the first time you've set up a zap, you'll need to connect your Dash account. Follow the instructions to connect you Dash account to Zapier. You only have to do this once. For more detailed steps on the configuration, refer to our Zapier setup article. Once connected, the "Choose account" step should look similar to this:
​

Click continue to "Set up trigger"

In the above example, this zap will trigger every time an asset is given the tag "Send email alert"

Continue to test the zap. You'll need to make sure you have an asset already in your Dash that meets the criteria you've set above, in order for the test to succeed. If the test succeeds, it should look like this:

Click the action step called "2. Send Email in Gmail"

If it isn't shown, click "Choose account", and connect your Gmail account.

Click Continue

Now configure the email to suit your needs, including customising the sender, subject, email content etc. You can add dynamic fields to the email content, like this:

You can also attach the file itself to the email by using the Attachments field:

When done, click Continue and test the zap

If it succeeds, you can publish the zap. Don't forget to give it a name by clicking the title at the top of the page!
