Find active project conversations faster
Make active client project conversations easier to spot with a consistent Gmail label.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Important client conversations get buried when project activity is tracked separately from the inbox.
- Review active Bonsai project context on a schedule.
- Apply a known Gmail label to relevant client threads.
- Make project-related email easier to find between check-ins.
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 its name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify Gmail threads relevant to active Bonsai projects and apply the existing label whose id you provide.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one active project and verify the selected thread and label.
Questions about this workflow
Can it infer which projects are active?
Only from project status information returned by Bonsai or criteria you provide. Check that the source data supports your definition of active.
Can it add a label that does not exist?
No. Create the label separately first, then use its valid id in the instruction.
