Bring Gmail thread history into a completed merge handoff
See the conversation that led to the document alongside the finished merge, ready for a confident next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch Message by Thread ID
Retrieves messages from a gmail thread using its `thread id`, where the thread must be accessible by the specified `user id`.
Why this helps
When a document changes hands, the conversation behind it often stays somewhere else, forcing the next person to reconstruct context.
- Retrieves messages from the relevant Gmail thread.
- Keeps the document and its email context together in the run report.
- Reduces context switching during handoffs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Gmail thread identified by the webhook and summarize the context needed for the document handoff.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, accessible thread id and inspect the summary.
Questions about this workflow
What identifier does Gmail need?
The action requires a valid thread id accessible to the specified Gmail user.
Does it retrieve every message in that thread?
It retrieves messages from the specified thread. Notis can summarize the returned information for the handoff.
Can this work without a thread id in the webhook?
The id must be supplied or identified from available Gmail data before retrieving the thread.
