Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Get Resource by Public ID
Tool to get details of a single resource by public id. use when you need full asset, derived, and related info.
Why this helps
An asset question stalls when the public ID in the email has to be searched separately in Cloudinary.
- Retrieve a resource using its public ID.
- Respond to asset references without a separate manual lookup.
- Keep the request connected to its Cloudinary result.
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 how to identify the public ID in an incoming email and retrieve that Cloudinary resource.
- 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real incoming email containing a known public ID.
