Action

Why this helps
Requests that arrive by email can be overlooked when the inbox is also serving as a to-do list.
- Keep incoming requests in one reviewable place.
- Preserve deadlines only when the sender states them.
- Reduce repeated inbox checks for outstanding asks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify emails requesting documents or information and add a dated entry with sender, request, stated deadline, and open follow-up to a Drive log.
- 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request email and check the resulting log.
Questions about this workflow
Will it invent a deadline when none is given?
Ask Notis to record a deadline only when the email states one, and otherwise mark it as not stated.
Can it ignore unrelated emails?
Tell Notis in the instruction which requests to include and what to do with other messages.
