Columns AI Launches Frictionless Gmail Addon to Automate Data Entry From Email Attachments

Seattle, Washington, USA, June 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

The new productivity tool eliminates hours of manual data entry by extracting invoices, purchase orders, and bills directly into spreadsheets with a single click.

Columns AI today announced the official launch and publication of its new Gmail Addon on the Google Workspace Marketplace. Designed to streamline administrative workflows for business owners, operators, and independent professionals, the addon provides a completely frictionless solution for automating data entry directly from email attachments into organized spreadsheets.

In today's fast-paced business environment, companies receive a massive volume of financial and operational documents daily via email, including invoices, purchase orders, price quotes, bills, and corporate cards. For business runners, managing this continuous influx traditionally requires spending hours manually transcribing data into accounting records or hiring dedicated personnel to handle data entry: a costly, time-consuming, and error-prone process.

Columns Drive for Gmail completely resolves this operational bottleneck. By integrating directly into the Gmail sidebar, the addon allows users to process email attachments seamlessly without ever leaving their inbox. When an email with attachments arrives, users simply open Columns Drive in the sidebar and select the files they wish to save. The intelligent tool automatically identifies and selects the most relevant folder for storage.

The core breakthrough of Columns Drive is its dynamic data synchronization: users always receive fresh, up-to-date spreadsheet data generated directly from the designated folder. 

Equipped with a comprehensive library of pre-built templates, the addon accurately maps out the exact data fields needed for extraction, such as line items, totals, dates, and vendor names, while effectively filtering out irrelevant noise from the source files.

A key differentiator of Columns Drive is its entirely frictionless onboarding process. Unlike traditional enterprise software, users are not required to sign up for an external account, create new credentials, or follow complex multi-step configuration processes. The addon is ready for immediate deployment and can be utilized right out of the box.

Columns Drive for Gmail is now available globally to all Google Workspace and Gmail users. To install the addon and begin automating your email data workflows, visit the official Google Workspace Marketplace listing at https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/columns_drive/946167755859
