Find relevant Cloudinary assets from incoming requests
When an asset request arrives by email, have Notis look for matching Cloudinary resources using metadata you define.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Get Resources by Context
Tool to retrieve assets with a specified contextual metadata key/value. use when filtering resources by context metadata.
Why this helps
Finding the right asset means switching from an incoming request to Cloudinary and reconstructing the search.
- Start asset discovery from the request email.
- Search Cloudinary using contextual metadata you provide.
- Reduce repeated manual searching for requested assets.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Cloudinary once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis what context to read from incoming email and which metadata key and value to use when retrieving Cloudinary resources.
- 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real incoming email and metadata value.
Questions about this workflow
What data is available from the Gmail trigger?
The listed event says it triggers when a new message is received. It does not specify additional metadata fields, so name any needed context explicitly in your instruction and confirm it is available in a real run.
Does this search Cloudinary by email subject automatically?
No. The Cloudinary action retrieves resources by contextual metadata key and value. Your instruction should explain how to determine those values from the email.
