Notis

Start queued collection requests from your inbox

Turn a clear email instruction into a collection run, without a separate manual start step.

Trigger

New Email Received

Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox

Action

Start Collection

Tool to start processing a collection's queued requests. Use after creating or pausing a collection to initiate its queued requests.

Why this helps

Queued work can sit idle when starting it requires a separate app visit and follow-up.

  • Start a specified collection when a new email requests it.
  • Reduce delays between an instruction and queued processing.
  • Keep the request and run report connected to your inbox workflow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to start the specified Countdown API collection only when the email clearly requests it and includes a collection ID.
  • 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email requesting a start for a valid collection ID.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create requests in the collection?
