Notis

Remove confirmed obsolete messages

Clear proven clutter with a precise, context-aware cleanup step.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Delete message

Permanently deletes a specific email message by its id from a gmail mailbox; for `user id`, use 'me' for the authenticated user or an email address to which the authenticated user has delegated access.

Why this helps

Deleting email feels risky when you cannot verify whether it still matters.

  • Reduce mailbox clutter deliberately
  • Use context before destructive cleanup
  • Keep cleanup targeted

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BrainGraph and Gmail in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation requiring explicit confirmation criteria before deleting a message.
  • 3Choose a webhook trigger and a report destination.
  • 4Test with one known obsolete message and verify the id.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion permanent?

Yes. The delete message action permanently deletes the specified message, so use it only with a verified message id.

Can I move it to trash instead?

Yes. Use the move to trash action when you want a reversible cleanup step.
