  • 1Connect Gmail and Api sports once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to search Api sports for teams named in each relevant new email and summarize plausible matches.
  • 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real email mentioning a team.

Questions about this workflow

Can the lookup resolve a vague nickname?

It can search for a team using the message context, but a vague nickname may return uncertain or multiple matches.

Does this retrieve team season statistics too?

No. This workflow identifies teams. A team statistics lookup requires a confirmed team, league, and season.
