- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to get details only for a zone clearly identified in an email asking for a status check, and summarize the result.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received Trigger as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real status request for a known zone.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change zone settings?
No. It retrieves zone details for review.
What if the sender uses a nickname for the zone?
Have Notis report that the zone is unclear and request a precise identifier rather than guessing.
