Check Gmail context before welcoming a Backendless user
See whether a new user already has an email history before you start onboarding outreach.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Why this helps
Generic onboarding messages can feel disconnected when someone has already contacted your team.
- Avoid overlooking earlier conversations when onboarding a user.
- Give the person handling onboarding a concise starting point.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction how Notis should search Gmail for the incoming user's email and summarize any prior conversations.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, set the report destination, and test with one real new-user example.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically send a welcome email?
No. This workflow searches Gmail and summarizes matching messages. Sending a message would require a separate Gmail action.
What if Gmail has no matching messages?
Notis can report that no relevant messages were returned for the search.
