Review the Gmail message referenced in Bika

When a Bika record points to a specific Gmail message, Notis can pull that exact message into the record's follow-up context.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Fetch message by message ID

Fetches a specific email message by its id, provided the `message id` exists and is accessible to the authenticated `user id`.

Why this helps

Opening the wrong conversation or searching for an already identified message wastes attention.

  • Retrieve a specific message using its ID.
  • Summarize the retrieved content in a run report.
  • Keep the lookup tied to the Bika event that requested it.

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 fetch the Gmail message whose ID is supplied by Bika and summarize it for the report.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure Bika's outgoing webhook to call it with the message ID.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one accessible message ID.

Questions about this workflow

Does the Bika webhook need a message ID?

Yes. This action retrieves a specific Gmail message, so the webhook must provide a valid, accessible message ID.

Can Notis search if there is no ID?

Use the fetch emails action for a search based on query details instead.
