Priority Email Ends Snooze
You're in snooze mode, but an urgent email arrives. Notis ends your snooze so you see it immediately.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
End snooze
Ends the current user's snooze mode immediately.
Why this helps
You're deep in focus work, but a VIP client emails and you miss it for an hour. By then they're frustrated.
- Focus time is protected, but truly urgent emails still reach you
- VIP clients get immediate response even when you're busy
- You're not torn between availability and deep work—automation balances both
- Peace of mind that important messages won't be missed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an urgent email arrives from a VIP client, end my Slack snooze immediately.'
- 3Set the trigger to New Email Received.
- 4Define what makes an email urgent (specific clients, keywords, time-sensitive phrases).
- 5Test by setting a 30-minute snooze, then having someone send a priority email—verify your snooze ends.
Questions about this workflow
Won't this break my focus time?
Only for truly urgent emails. You control the definition—only VIP clients, or only during business hours, or only certain keywords.
What if I don't want the snooze ended?
You can disable this automation temporarily, or exclude specific senders, depending on what you need that day.
Does this notify me visually, or just end the snooze?
It ends the snooze, which means you'll see notifications again. You can also ask Notis to post a Slack message as a separate action.
