Clear an outdated label when Ably work changes
Keep Gmail message status current when a new event means an old label no longer fits.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Why this helps
Outdated labels make it harder to tell which messages still need action.
- Clear obsolete labels as work changes.
- Make message status easier to interpret.
- Reduce manual inbox cleanup after an event.

- 3Describe which event means a label should be removed from which message.

- 5Test with one real message and label that exist.
Questions about this workflow
Can this remove a system label?
The action modifies labels on a message. Ensure the specified message and label ids are valid and that the change is appropriate.
Can it add a replacement label too?
