Why this helps

It is easy to run a research automation under the wrong connected mailbox and miss the resulting work.

  • Confirm the authenticated Gmail account address.
  • Retrieve profile totals and history information returned by Gmail.
  • Add a mailbox check to a webhook started process.

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Akta and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation telling Notis to retrieve and summarize the connected Gmail profile for your Akta research process.
  • 3Pick a webhook as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real HTTP request and check the returned profile.

Questions about this workflow

Does this inspect individual messages?

No. It retrieves profile information such as the email address, message and thread totals, and history id.

What must I supply to start it?

Send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook. Akta does not expose a trigger event in the listed context.
