Keep referral context attached to the contact
Remember who made the introduction and what they shared, without searching the original email.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Note
This tool creates a new note on a given record in attio. the note can be attached to any record type (like person, company, or deal) and includes a title and content. it requires parameters such as parent object, parent record id, title, and content, with an optional created at timestamp.
Why this helps
Referral context is valuable, but often gets separated from the contact it concerns.
- Preserve referral source details.
- Keep the reason for an introduction easy to revisit.
- Prepare for a more informed first conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Attio once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to identify referral details present in the email and save a short note on the matching Attio contact.
- 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real referral email.
Questions about this workflow
What if the referred person is not in Attio?
You can instruct Notis to create a person record for clear referrals, or skip unmatched people and report them.
Does it know the referrer's relationship to the person?
Only when the email or other returned data states it. The note can preserve that context when available.
