- 4Choose a schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test once and verify the created label name in Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
Will it label report messages too?
No. This action creates a label. Applying it to messages requires a separate workflow using the label action.
Why use a schedule for label creation?
The scheduled run can ensure the label exists before a reporting cycle. Choose a one-time suitable schedule if your setup allows it.
What if the label already exists?
Instruct Notis to check the existing labels first and avoid creating a duplicate name.
