Find the email history behind a form response
Bring an inquiry and its likely email context together before deciding what to do next.
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
A form response can be hard to triage when its related email history is scattered across the inbox.
- See potentially related email alongside the new response.
- Use the submitted contact details to guide the search.
- Spend less time switching between forms and inbox searches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for finding email context.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Gmail for messages related to the submission using available contact details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real submission and check whether the returned messages are relevant.
Questions about this workflow
Will the search find every related email?
Not necessarily. Results depend on the details provided and the messages Gmail can return.
Does the workflow change any messages?
No. It fetches email results for context and does not modify them.
