List Gmail Labels via Webhook

External app needs your Gmail label list? Send a webhook to Notis and get current labels back instantly.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

List Gmail labels

Retrieves a list of all system and user-created labels for the specified gmail account.

Why this helps

External systems can't easily reference Gmail labels, causing misalignment between email and app-based workflows.

  • External systems stay in sync with Gmail labels
  • Automate label-based workflows across tools
  • Reduce manual label entry in external apps

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and external app to Notis.
  • 2Set up webhook: external app POSTs to Notis requesting label list.
  • 3Create an automation: 'When webhook arrives, fetch Gmail labels and return the list.'
  • 4Notis retrieves all labels (system and custom) and sends them back to the external app.
  • 5External app uses labels to route or categorize data.

Questions about this workflow

Will Notis return all labels, including nested ones?

Yes. The response includes the full label hierarchy so external apps can build nested structures.

Can I filter the label list?

You can ask Notis to exclude system labels or return only custom labels created by users.

How often is the label list updated?

Notis fetches the latest list each time the webhook is triggered, so it's always current.
