Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

Action

Why this helps

A new client request can trigger duplicate effort if you cannot quickly see whether proposal work has already begun.

  • Check existing new proposals before starting related work.
  • Keep intake and proposal activity closer together.
  • Reduce duplicate mental tracking.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Better Proposals once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve new proposals when a client message arrives and flag potentially related items or unclear context.
  • 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real client request email.

Questions about this workflow

Will it prevent duplicate proposals automatically?
