Find Gmail messages with a specific label and forward them to another address.

AI-generated overview

Finds Gmail messages carrying a specific label and forwards them to another email address.

What it does: This recipe describes a three-step Gmail workflow: list messages matching a label query, retrieve the content of a chosen message, and send it onward as a forwarded email to a specified recipient. It produces forwarded email messages rather than files or reports. The steps are given as gws command-line invocations.
When to use it: Use it when messages in a Gmail account are tagged with a label and need to be passed along to someone else, such as a manager or reviewer. It suits recurring hand-offs of labeled mail that would otherwise be forwarded by hand.
Requirements: Requires the gws command-line tool and the gws-gmail skill, plus authenticated access to the relevant Gmail account and network access to Gmail. No scripts ship with the skill; it is instructions only.
