Connect Ably activity with Gmail threads
Bring active channel context and the email conversations around it into one scheduled scan.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List threads
Retrieves a list of email threads from a gmail account, identified by `user id` (email address or 'me'), supporting filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
Work context gets scattered when you check channel activity and long email threads in separate passes.
- Review selected Gmail threads with channel context.
- Cut down on back and forth between tools.
- Use a regular review to spot conversations that need action.

- 1Connect Ably and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Describe which Ably channels and Gmail threads matter for the review.
