The 3-step Zap

Gmail — New Labeled Email

Watch a dedicated label such as ClosedCast Intake

Step #1: Use a label or mailbox rule so only intentional video submissions enter the workflow.

Filter by Zapier — Filter or Parse

Require a supported video source URL and extract title or category fields when present

Step #2: Check that the message contains enough information to create a useful video record.

ClosedCast — Create Video

Map the supported source URL plus parsed title, description, category, and tags

Step #3: Turn the qualifying email submission into a ClosedCast video intake item.

Result

A dedicated inbox or labeled email workflow can become a lightweight video intake process instead of requiring someone to manually re-enter every submission.

ClosedCast is an emerging leader in private video streaming , helping families, churches, teams, and organizations securely archive, share, and watch private videos online and on TV.
