Create client labels from Bonsai context
Give client correspondence a consistent place to land by creating a Gmail label from Bonsai information.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create label
Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account.
Why this helps
Keeping client emails organized gets harder when naming conventions are improvised every time a new client starts.
- Use a consistent label naming pattern based on client context.
- Reduce manual setup for a new client email workflow.
- Keep label creation separate from sending or changing messages.
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 enter a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a uniquely named Gmail label using the Bonsai client name and your naming convention.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real client and check the resulting label in Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
Will this apply the label to existing messages?
No. This action creates the label. Applying it to a message or thread requires a separate Gmail label modification action.
What if the label already exists?
Use a naming convention that is unique and test the workflow. The Gmail action requires a unique label name.
