Ways Notis can move work from Gmail to Composio
Find Composio tools for incoming requests
When a new Gmail message contains a task request, search Composio for tools that could carry it out and return the relevant options.
Plan multi-step work from incoming email
Turn a complex email request into a complete step-by-step plan with Composio's workflow planning action.
Delegate email tasks to a Composio agent
Use an incoming email as the starting context for a Composio agent to reason through a complex task and its tool calls.
Check app connections for email requests
When an email names apps needed for a task, check whether those toolkits have active Composio connections and report any gaps.
Prepare a connection link for an email task
When a request depends on an app connection, create a branded Composio authentication link for the relevant toolkit.
Browse Composio apps named in email
Use an incoming request to find available Composio toolkits matching the apps it mentions.
Inspect Composio triggers for requested workflows
When an email describes an event-driven automation, list relevant Composio triggers and review their configuration requirements.
Find Composio tools for commitments you sent
After you send an email describing a task or commitment, search Composio for tools that could help carry out the next step.
Follow through on sent email commitments
Start a Composio agent from a sent email that contains an actionable commitment, with your instruction defining the allowed follow-through.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to Composio. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
Composio actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Ask Oracle
Static helper that returns a comprehensive system prompt describing how to plan and execute tasks using the available composio tools and workflows. no inputs required; simply call to retrieve the prompt. always call this after the search tool is executed -- it will provide the best context on how to proceed, chain tools, and execute the task end-to-end. relevant tools referenced by the prompt: 1. composio search tools 2. composio multi execute tool 3. composio execute code 4. composio manage connections 5. composio bash tool
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check active connection (deprecated)
Deprecated: use check active connections instead for bulk operations. check active connection status for a toolkit or specific connected account id. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on the toolkit.
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Check multiple active connections
Check active connection status for multiple toolkits or specific connected account ids. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on toolkits.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Create Plan
This is a workflow builder that ensures the LLM produces a complete, step-by-step plan for any use case. WHEN TO CALL: - Call this tool based on COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS output. If search tools response indicates create_plan should be called and the usecase is not easy, call it. - Use this tool after COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS or COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to generate an execution plan for the user's use case. - USE for medium or hard tasks — skip it for easy ones. - If the user switches to a new use case in the same chat and COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS again instructs you to call the planner, you MUST call this tool again for that new use case. Memory Integration: - You can choose to add the memory received from the search tool into the known_fields parameter of the plan function to enhance planning with discovered relationships and information. Outputs a complete plan with sections such as "workflow_steps", "complexity_assessment", "decision_matrix", "failure_handling" "output_format", and more as needed. If you skip this step for non-easy tasks, workflows will likely be incomplete, or fail during execution for complex tasks. Calling it guarantees reliable, accurate, and end-to-end workflows aligned with the available tools and connections.
Enable trigger
Enable a specific trigger for the authenticated user.
Execute agent
Execute complex workflows using ai agent reasoning between multiple tool calls. use this for: complex multi-step workflows requiring reasoning, error handling and retry logic. use composio multi execute tool instead for: simple parallel operations, batch operations on similar data (e.g., fetch 5 emails, get 10 sent messages, retrieve multiple user profiles), independent tool calls that don't need each other's results, or bulk operations where all parameters are known upfront. performance: agent calls add ~2-3 seconds overhead. use for workflows >3 tools or requiring conditional logic. avoid for simple parameter passing.
Execute Composio Tool
Execute a tool using the composio api.
Get Tool Dependency Graph
Get the dependency graph for a given tool, showing related parent tools that might be useful. this action calls the composio labs dependency graph api to retrieve tools that are commonly used together with or before the specified tool. this helps discover related tools and understand common workflows.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.

You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
Notis built this automation:
Watch every run.
Notis Desktop is Mission Control for your AI automations. See every run, replay, edit, or rewind. Set approval gates so Notis pauses before destructive actions.
- Full run history with inputs, outputs and traces
- Replay any run with edited inputs
- Approval inbox, confirm via chat in one tap
- Audit logs for compliance teams

Whatever starts the workflow, the platform underneath is the same: a thinking brain, full visibility, and you in control.
AI in the middle
Every step can include an LLM call: summarise, classify, extract, rewrite.
