- Use a specific record ID from the message
- Reduce duplicate data entry

- 3Tell Notis to patch only the specified fields on a Bubble Thing when a new email includes its unique ID and clearly states the replacement values.
- 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email containing an authorized, unambiguous update and verify the record.
