  • Review image URLs and source domains in a run report.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Autom once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify the requested visual subject in each new brief, fetch relevant results with Google Images, and summarize the URLs, titles, domains, and available metadata.
  • 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email brief requesting visual references.

Questions about this workflow

Does this download the images?

No. Google Images fetches search results with URLs, titles, domains, and metadata.

Can it use an image request from an email attachment?

The workflow is based on information available from the new Gmail message. State the needed subject in the message text for a clear search.
