Mark recent messages that need a follow-up review
Let a scheduled pass flag messages that match the criteria you define, so they are easier to revisit.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Follow-up messages can disappear into the inbox when there is no reliable review point.
- Process recent message text with Abstract.
- Apply an existing Gmail label to messages that meet your stated criteria.
- Make potential follow-ups easier to revisit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect recent Gmail messages, process available text with Abstract, and label only messages matching your stated follow-up criteria.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with real recent messages and an existing Gmail label.
Questions about this workflow
Can it decide what counts as a follow-up?
State the criteria you want it to use in the instruction. Abstract cannot supply your personal priorities unless you provide them.
Does it create a new Gmail label?
No. Use an existing label.
