Notis

Organize document-related Gmail messages with an existing label

Give the messages tied to your document work a consistent home, with a label you already use.

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

Important file discussions can remain mixed into the general inbox, so future retrieval takes extra effort.

  • Applies an existing label to matching messages.
  • Makes document-related email easier to retrieve.
  • Uses a recurring rule to reduce repetitive inbox sorting.

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 which document-related messages to find and which existing Gmail label to apply; ensure each target has a valid message id.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real match and verify the label was applied to the intended message.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create the label if it is missing?

No. The message label action requires valid existing label ids. Create the label first or use a separate create-label workflow.

How are matching messages identified?

Describe the criteria in your instruction. Notis can use available Gmail search results, but the message ids must be valid.

Can it remove labels too?

The action supports adding and removing specified labels. State the change you want and ensure the ids are valid.
