Keep deployment follow-up email easy to find

When a release needs attention, put the related email where you can find it again with one webhook-driven label update.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Modify email labels

Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).

Why this helps

Important deployment conversations get buried among routine inbox traffic.

  • Make a related email easier to find later.
  • Use an existing Gmail label to support a consistent review habit.
  • Reduce inbox searching after a deployment issue.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Appveyor and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to apply a specified existing Gmail label to the message identified in the webhook when deployment follow-up is needed.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message ID and confirm the label is correct.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow find the email from just a build number?

Only if the available email data lets Notis identify the message. Provide a valid Gmail message ID or enough context to locate the right message.

Can it create the label if it does not exist?

This action modifies labels and requires valid label IDs. Create the Gmail label separately first, then use its existing ID.
