Create Gmail labels for knowledge topics

Give important themes a consistent place in Gmail.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create label

Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account.

Why this helps

Recurring topics lack a shared label, making related conversations hard to retrieve.

  • Create consistent topic labels
  • Align inbox organization with your knowledge graph
  • Improve later retrieval

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BrainGraph and Gmail in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation describing the topic and the label naming rule.
  • 3Choose a recurring cron trigger and a report channel.
  • 4Test with one topic and confirm the proposed label name.

Questions about this workflow

Will it create duplicate labels?

The instruction should require checking existing labels before creating a new unique label.

Can it create labels for a whole topic list?

Yes, provide the topic list in the BrainGraph context and ask it to process each distinct topic.
