Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create a page
Create a new page in a doc. note that creating a page requires you to be a doc maker in the applicable workspace.
Why this helps
Decisions made over email become hard to find when the project moves forward and the thread gets buried.
- Save a concise statement of each decision with its source.
- Make past choices easier to review during project work.
- Avoid re-opening long threads just to remember the outcome.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Coda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the decision log workflow.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to detect emails that announce a decision and add the decision, date, people involved, and message reference to a page in your chosen Coda doc.
- 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real decision email and adjust the instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Will every incoming email become a decision record?
Your instruction can ask Notis to add a page only when the message clearly announces a decision.
Can it include earlier discussion from the thread?
The trigger description guarantees the new message, not the entire history. Ask Notis to consult available thread context if you need earlier discussion.
