Measure message length at a glance
Get simple, consistent length counts for new messages when size or reading time affects your review process.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
Long messages take more attention to assess, but estimating their size by eye is unreliable.
- Return word, character, or paragraph counts.
- Use a consistent measure for each incoming message.
- Keep the output small and quick to scan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for message length reporting.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction which length measures to calculate from available message text.
- 4Choose the New Gmail Message Received trigger and where reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message and check the counts.
Questions about this workflow
Can this estimate reading time?
You can request a rough estimate based on word count, but specify the rate to use or supply your preferred assumption.
Does it summarize the message too?
The prompt can request a short summary as well, provided the message text is available to the run.
