Notis

Find trade related email in a daily scan

Bring scattered broker and market conversations into a small, focused review list.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Fetch emails

Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.

Why this helps

Trade-related messages spread across threads can take time to find when you need to reconstruct a decision.

  • Search for chosen symbols or topics on a schedule.
  • Surface relevant email for review without a manual search.
  • Keep the scan terms under your control.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Alpaca and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search Gmail for the symbols and trade-related terms you specify and summarize matching messages for review.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and adjust the search terms if needed.

Questions about this workflow

Does this read Alpaca's private account history?

The Gmail action searches Gmail. Any Alpaca account data used in the summary must be available to Notis separately.

Can I limit the search to certain senders or dates?

Include the criteria in your plain language instruction and test that the returned messages match your intent.
