Mark new email activity in Discord
Use a lightweight reaction on a designated Discord message as a visible signal that new inbox activity arrived.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Why this helps
A team status message can go stale when nobody remembers to mark new activity.
- Mark a shared status message when email arrives.
- Use a simple signal without adding another written update.
- Keep inbox activity visible in a Discord channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which designated Discord message should receive a reaction when a new email arrives and which emoji to use.
- 4Choose New Email Received as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email and confirm the intended message receives the reaction.
Questions about this workflow
Can this react to the new email itself?
No. The action adds a reaction to a Discord message. Specify an existing message that should serve as the activity marker.
Will this say what the email is about?
No. This is a simple activity signal. Use a message-posting workflow if you need to share email details.

Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
