Turn sent follow-up emails into Apify runs
When you send a message promising a web check or research follow-up, let Notis start the configured Actor.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Run Actor Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor asynchronously. use when you need to trigger an actor run without waiting for completion and retrieve its run details immediately.
Why this helps
Follow-ups promised in sent mail can slip when the next step is manual and detached from the conversation.
- Catch follow-up work at the moment you send the commitment.
- Use sent message context to inform the Actor run.
- Reduce the chance of overlooking promised research.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which sent messages indicate a web research follow-up and which Actor to run.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real sent follow-up message.
