Keep Bolt IoT alert emails easy to find
Use an existing Gmail label to organize messages that match a sensor alert.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Why this helps
Alert-related emails can disappear among routine inbox traffic.
- Group matching alert messages with an existing label
- Reduce inbox searching after a sensor event
- Base matching on details available in the webhook and email
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify a Gmail message related to a Bolt IoT alert and which existing Gmail label to apply.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real alert and confirm the message and label are correct.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create the label if I do not have one?
This workflow applies an existing label. Create the label in Gmail first, then name it in your instruction.
What if the webhook does not identify a matching email?
Notis needs enough shared details to search for the message. Include the matching information in your instruction and test with a real example.
