# Zap blueprint: Weekly list of newsletters you never open

**This is a blueprint, not an import file.** Zapier has no public format for importing Zaps, so you rebuild these steps by hand in the Zap editor. It takes about 10–20 minutes (our estimate).
Create a new Zap: https://zapier.com/app/editor
Full recipe: https://recipeagents.usestarbase.com/recipes/personal-inbox-unsubscribe-list

## Steps
1. **Trigger:** Schedule by Zapier: Every Week
   - Recipe input: Gmail (read status)
2. **Filter by Zapier** (optional): only continue if the input is the kind you want (see the recipe's failure modes).
3. **Action:** ChatGPT (OpenAI): Conversation, or AI by Zapier
   - Paste this prompt and map the trigger fields into the {{...}} placeholders:

```
(Optional AI step: group senders into 'shops', 'news', 'tools' to make the list easier to skim.)
```
4. **Action:** Formatter by Zapier → Utilities → Import JSON / or Code by Zapier, to split the JSON fields (if the prompt returns JSON).
5. **Action:** Gmail: Send Email (to yourself)
6. **Test each step** with a real example, then turn the Zap on. Keep a human approval on anything customer-facing.

## Recipe steps (from the page)
- Sunday schedule: search category:promotions newer_than:7d is:unread.
- Count emails by sender.
- Email yourself the senders with 5 or more, plus their List-Unsubscribe links.

## Where it breaks
- Opened on another device: Read status is from Gmail, so anything you read elsewhere still counts as read there.
