How to save E-Mail newsletter to Pocket

#The Situation#

I've subscribed to some newsletters. To keep my inbox as empty as possible, I open the browser version (these newsletters mostly provide a link to a browser version) in a new tab and save it to my Pocket queue.

I want to automate this process. I don't want to open these emails everytime and add the links to my queue manually. Is there a way to save these mails from the gmail web interface to Pocket?

##Newsletters to add:##

  • Web Design Weekly
  • Responsive Design Weekly
  • CSS Weekly
  • Sidebar.io

##1. Pocket: direct integration into Email services##

  • not possible.
  • Pocket guys say, there is no way to integrate Pocket into email clients like in some RSS clients. (Source)

##2. IFTTT: If "New email labeled" then "Save to Pocket"##

  • if this > Gmail channel > new email labeled Newsletter
  • then that > Pocket channel > Save Body Plain to Pocket

##3. IFTTT: If "New email labeled" then "Send an email"##

  • if this > Gmail channel > new email labeled Newsletter
  • then that > Email channel > Send Body Plain as email to [email protected]

Pocket will add the first link from the email it finds – does it ignore images inside <img src="" />?

##4. IFTTT: If "New feed item" then "Save to Pocket"##

  • if this > Feed channel > new feed item from specified feed url
  • then that > Pocket channel > Save Entry URL to Pocket

Although I would need to create a receipe for every newsletter I subscribed via RSS.
