Keep client threads organized with context
Connect a client conversation to its Bonsai context and apply the right existing Gmail label.
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
A client thread can be difficult to find later when it has no consistent label or client reference.
- Use Bonsai context to help identify the relevant client conversation.
- Apply an existing Gmail label to keep the thread easier to find.
- Avoid label creation and message changes outside the instruction.
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.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the matching Gmail thread from the supplied context and add a specific existing label, using valid thread and label identifiers.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real thread and verify its label in Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow create a label if it is missing?
No. The label modification action requires existing label ids. Use Gmail's label list to confirm the label exists.
What does it need to modify a thread?
It needs a valid accessible thread id and the existing label id. The prompt should give Notis enough context to identify the intended thread.
