Review a project's email conversation history
Bring the client thread history into view when you need to understand what has already been discussed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List threads
Retrieves a list of email threads from a gmail account, identified by `user id` (email address or 'me'), supporting filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
Reconstructing project decisions from separate email threads costs time and invites missed context.
- Retrieve relevant conversations as threads.
- Review discussion history with the project context in mind.
- Make handoffs and preparation easier.
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 its name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to use Bonsai project context to find and retrieve relevant Gmail threads, then summarize decisions and open questions present in the messages.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one project and check the thread selection and summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send or change messages?
No. It retrieves threads for review.
Can it capture decisions that were never emailed?
No. The summary can only reflect information found in the Bonsai context or returned email threads.
