Turn qualified Gmail leads into Apollo contacts
A promising lead lands in your inbox. Notis can capture it in Apollo so you can keep the conversation moving without re-entering the details.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
Why this helps
Useful inquiries get buried in a busy inbox, and manually creating a contact adds another task before follow-up can begin.
- Capture clear sales inquiries from new Gmail messages
- Reduce repetitive contact entry
- Keep lead details available in Apollo for follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to recognize a qualified inquiry and create an Apollo contact using only details present in the message.
- 4Choose the New Gmail Message Received trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real lead email and review the created contact.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a contact for every incoming email?
Tell Notis in your instruction which messages count as qualified inquiries. The workflow should create a contact only when the message meets that description.
What if the email does not include all contact details?
Notis can use information present in the message. Missing details should be left out rather than guessed.
