Create an inbox label when a document category emerges

Turn a useful new document category into an inbox label you can apply to related messages.

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

New types of work often arrive before an inbox label exists, making it harder to keep related correspondence together.

  • Create a label when a category needs one.
  • Use document analysis to inform inbox organization.
  • Avoid stopping to manage labels during focused work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Aryn and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to analyze the submitted document and create a Gmail label using its category only when that label does not already exist; report the category and label name.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document and confirm the proposed label name is appropriate and unique.

Questions about this workflow

Will it check whether a label already exists?

Instruct Notis to review the current Gmail labels before creating one. The label name must be unique.

Does creating the label apply it to an email?

No. This action creates the label. Applying it to a message or thread is a separate Gmail action.
