Why this helps
New operational issues are difficult to track when their email follow-up blends into the general inbox.
- Creates an inbox marker for a new issue
- Makes issue-related email easier to group
- Reduces the work of setting up labels by hand
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for new issue labels.
- 3Tell Notis to create a uniquely named Gmail label based on the issue details in each webhook request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue notification and confirm the label name is unique and useful.
Questions about this workflow
Can label names repeat?
Gmail label names must be unique in the account. Ask Notis to use a consistent prefix and distinguish each new issue.
Will this label existing messages too?
No. This action creates a label. It does not apply that label to messages.
