Why this helps

Location research can interrupt inbox triage and leave a question waiting for a separate search.

  • Detect location names or location research questions in incoming mail.
  • Retrieve matching Google-supported locations ordered by reach.
  • Get results with the original email context in one report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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 location or place being asked about in each new email, retrieve matching results with Google Locations, and summarize them with the email subject.
  • 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email asking about a location.

Questions about this workflow

Does this guarantee the first result is the right location?

No. Google Locations returns matching locations ordered by reach. Review the candidates against the email context.

Can it search for a location if the email is vague?

It can use the wording in the email as the search. Vague requests may need clarification.
