Confirm the email account before client work

Start with confidence by checking the Gmail account identity before a client email automation proceeds.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Profile

Retrieves key gmail profile information (email address, message/thread totals, history id) for a user.

Why this helps

Using the wrong connected inbox can cause confusion about where client correspondence is being read or sent.

  • See the Gmail address associated with the action account.
  • Check the profile before a client email workflow proceeds.
  • Catch account mismatches early in a run.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bonsai and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
  • 3Ask Notis to retrieve the Gmail profile and report whether the returned email address matches the account you specify for this Bonsai workflow.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test once and confirm the reported Gmail account is the intended one.

Questions about this workflow

Does this send or read client email?

No. It retrieves Gmail profile information such as the account email address and mailbox totals.

Can it validate Bonsai account access?

This Gmail action checks the Gmail profile only. Validate Bonsai access separately through the connected app and source data used in the workflow.
