Why this helps
A handoff can be confusing when the active Gmail account or mailbox context is unclear.
- Confirm the connected Gmail identity.
- Include mailbox totals and profile details in a run report.
- Make account handoffs easier to verify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika.ai and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to retrieve the Gmail profile and report the returned identity and key account totals for the Bika handoff.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure Bika's outgoing webhook to call it for the handoff.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real handoff.
