Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Copy folder
Creates a copy of a folder within a destination folder. the original folder will not be changed.
Why this helps
Repeat projects often start with the same folder setup, but recreating it by hand adds avoidable busywork.
- Reuse an existing folder structure for repeat work
- Reduce setup steps for familiar engagements
- Connect the new request to its Box starting point
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify repeat engagement emails, the source Box folder to copy, and the destination folder for the new work.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real repeat request and folder.
Questions about this workflow
Does copying change the source folder?
No. The Box copy action creates a copy within a destination folder and leaves the original unchanged.
What if there is no clear source or destination?
Ask Notis to report the missing folder details for review instead of choosing a folder by guess.
