Turn an approved access request into a Backendless permission
Give an approved request a clear path to the right record access by specifying the user, object, and permission in your instruction.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Grant Permission to User
Tool to grant a permission to a user on a specific data object. use when precise access rights must be assigned after verifying the table and object ids. example: "grant find permission to a user for a person record".
Why this helps
Access requests can sit in email while someone has to find the correct Backendless record and apply the permission manually.
- Reduce steps between an approved request and a permission grant.
- Keep the requested user, object, and permission explicit.
- Create a clearer operational handoff for access changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Describe which authorized requests qualify and provide the user ID, data object, and permission to grant.
- 4Choose the New Gmail Message Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real authorized request and confirm the correct permission target.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the permission and record?
The instruction should identify the intended user, object, and permission from reliable request details. The listed action needs a specific target.
Should this run on every access request?
Specify the authorization condition clearly. Permission grants change access, so use an instruction that distinguishes approved requests and identifies the exact target.
