Bring the right email history into an HR follow-up
Search for the conversation behind a specific employee request and bring its context to the next step.
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
Important HR follow-up can stall while someone searches through inbox threads for the original conversation.
- Search Gmail using an employee reference and a stated topic.
- Reduce manual inbox searches for relevant conversations.
- Keep search scope tied to the request rather than broad employee profiling.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and write the intended lookup outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to search Gmail for messages relevant to the employee reference and topic in the incoming request, then summarize matches.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up topic and check the retrieved messages.
Questions about this workflow
Does this search all employee email?
It searches the authenticated Gmail account for messages relevant to the request. Keep the prompt limited to a specific, legitimate follow-up topic.
Can the webhook identify a BambooHR record?
Yes, include the employee reference and the topic in the HTTP request. BambooHR does not itself trigger this workflow.
