Update Brex card limits from sent approvals
After you send a clear approval, Notis can apply the specified card limit change in Brex and send a run report.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Update Card Limits
Update spending limits and controls for a card.
Why this helps
Approved card limit changes require another manual step after the decision has already been communicated.
- Carry a clear decision into the Brex card controls.
- Reduce the chance of approved changes being forgotten.
- Report ambiguous or incomplete requests for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for card limit approvals.
- 3Tell Notis to update a Brex card limit only when your sent email explicitly approves a change and identifies the card and limit; report anything unclear.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real sent approval email.
Questions about this workflow
Will a draft or received email change a card limit?
No. This workflow uses the Email Sent trigger. Your instruction should also require explicit approval and clear card and limit details.
What if I sent an approval without identifying the card?
Ask Notis to report the missing or unclear detail rather than proceed.
