Pull relevant email context into a video task
Send a Gmail search query with a video reference to Notis and retrieve matching messages for the task at hand.
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
Searching for client decisions and review notes interrupts the flow when you are trying to finish a video.
- Search for email context when a video task needs it.
- Use a query supplied in the webhook request.
- Retrieve messages for Notis to help summarize or inform follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Captions and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: search Gmail using the query sent to Notis and summarize matching video-related context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real search query and check the messages returned.
Questions about this workflow
Will this search every email for a video automatically?
No. Gmail search uses the query supplied to the workflow. Include useful identifiers such as a client, subject phrase, or video project reference.
Can it retrieve full message content?
The Fetch emails action supports optional full content retrieval. The automation should request it when needed and use only accessible messages.
