Notis

Find the email context behind a member issue

Bring related messages and directory context together so you can decide what needs a reply.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Fetch emails

Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.

Why this helps

Member questions can span inbox threads and directory records, leaving you to reconstruct the story before acting.

  • Reduce inbox searching
  • See relevant messages alongside member context
  • Identify messages that may need a response

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the member information you provide to fetch related emails and summarize the thread context and open questions.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and specify how a member issue will start it.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real member issue.

Questions about this workflow

Will this workflow reply to the member?

No. It fetches email messages for review and summarizes the context. It does not send a response.

What if the email address is missing from the directory record?

Provide the address or another reliable search detail in the webhook request. Notis cannot infer information the connected apps do not return.
