When a customer shares a clear update, make the corresponding change to their existing Bubble contact record.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Patch Thing By ID
Tool to modify selected fields on a Thing by its unique ID. Use after confirming the Thing exists.
Why this helps
Small contact changes shared by email often remain buried in the thread instead of reaching the customer record.
- Apply clear contact changes where the record lives.
- Avoid retyping updates from an email.
- Keep the existing record and its other details intact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis which contact updates to recognize and how to identify the existing Bubble record.
- 3Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real update and a known record.
Questions about this workflow
Does it overwrite the whole contact?
No. Patch Thing By ID modifies selected fields. The automation needs a way to identify the existing record and must only apply fields supported by your data type.
What if the email mentions an ambiguous update?
Describe which changes are safe to apply. For unclear messages, instruct Notis to avoid making an update and report the ambiguity.
