Create Gmail labels for new Apilio event categories
Give a new class of Apilio events a dedicated Gmail label so related follow-up is easier to organize.
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
A new event category can create recurring inbox work if there is no clear label for it.
- Set up a dedicated label from event context
- Create a consistent place for related mail
- Avoid repeatedly naming labels by hand
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apilio and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Apilio event category label setup.
- 3Tell Notis to create a uniquely named Gmail label based on the incoming event category.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real event category and confirm the label name.
Questions about this workflow
Will the new label be applied to a message?
No. This workflow creates a label. Applying it to a message requires a separate Gmail label modification workflow.
What happens if that label name already exists?
Gmail requires a unique label name. Use an instruction that avoids reusing an existing name.
