Check invoice email details against Bonsai
Compare the message you received with the invoice context in Bonsai before you follow its instructions.
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
A payment email can be hard to verify when invoice references and client details need to be checked across tools.
- Compare message details with available Bonsai invoice context.
- Surface mismatches or missing information for review.
- Avoid acting on an email before checking its reference.
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 add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to fetch the specified Gmail message and compare its invoice references with Bonsai billing details, reporting any mismatch or missing data.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real invoice email and verify the comparison against the source records.
Questions about this workflow
Does this determine whether an email is fraudulent?
No. It compares available references and flags discrepancies for your review; it does not establish sender legitimacy.
What if the invoice details are incomplete?
The report should state which information is missing instead of assuming the values match.
