Give each Algolia review a clear place in Gmail

Start a review with a webhook and have Notis create a Gmail label that keeps the related email work organized.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create label

Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account.

Why this helps

Review follow-ups can disappear among unrelated messages when there is no clear inbox home.

  • Create a dedicated inbox label for a review effort.
  • Keep review coordination easier to find.
  • Avoid creating the same label manually during kickoff.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Algolia and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Algolia Review Label Setup.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the supplied Algolia review context to create a uniquely named Gmail label, and to report if that name already exists.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real review request and a proposed label name.

Questions about this workflow

Does this apply the label to messages?

No. It creates a Gmail label. Use a separate Gmail action if you also need to label messages.

What if a label with that name already exists?

The instruction asks Notis to report the existing name rather than assuming that creating a duplicate will work.
