Hey Product Hunt - Sam here.
I built ForwardThis because I found myself spending several hours every day on repetitive email admin.
Someone sends a file → save it to Google Drive.
A client confirms something → update the CRM record.
A date comes in → add it to the calendar.
Something needs chasing → remember to follow up.
None of it is particularly difficult. There's just loads of it. And it never ends.
I tried automating some of this with tools like Zapier and n8n, but kept running into the same problem: automation works brilliantly when you know what the exact workflow will be beforehand. My email inbox didn't afford me that luxury. Each email would require slightly different instructions, so it would cost me more time in setup than it would save me.
So I built ForwardThis.
ForwardThis is a super simple ops assistant for your inbox. Forward an email, tell it what you want done, and it gets on with it. That might mean one job or several, across whatever tools you're already using.
The list of potential applications is endless. It's currently being used by a wide array of people from startups to accountancies to marketing teams to realtors.
It's fully live, free to try (forever), and still early enough that how people actually use it will have a big influence on the future of the product.
If you try it, I'd love to know: what's the first thing you forwarded - and did it do what you expected?
