Remove a confirmed accidental email from Gmail

Handle a clear sending mistake with a controlled, exact-message cleanup.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Delete message

Permanently deletes a specific email message by its id from a gmail mailbox; for `user id`, use 'me' for the authenticated user or an email address to which the authenticated user has delegated access.

Why this helps

An accidental message can remain in a mailbox after a team has identified the mistake in a meeting.

  • Act on one exact message id after a clear confirmation.
  • Avoid deleting mail based on an ambiguous discussion.
  • Keep a report of the cleanup for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Avoma and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete a Gmail message only when the meeting explicitly confirms it was sent accidentally and the exact accessible message id is identified.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and carefully verify the message id before running.

Questions about this workflow

Can this recover a deleted message?

No. Deleting a Gmail message permanently removes it. Confirm the exact message and decision before using this workflow.

Will it delete messages based on a vague conversation?

The instruction should require explicit confirmation and an exact message id. Uncertain cases should stop for review.
