Use a saved Contentful search for each request
Reuse a registered query to look up the content behind incoming requests without rebuilding the search each time.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Repeated content lookups take time, and the right query may be easy to forget or misstate.
- Reuse a persisted query that is already registered.
- Keep request lookups consistent across incoming emails.
- Return query results with the original request context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the outcome in one plain-language instruction, including the registered query hash and variables to use.
- 3Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real email and the existing query hash.
Questions about this workflow
Can this register a persisted query?
No. This action runs a query by hash. The query must already be registered; the first-call query text option does not register it.
What if I do not have a query hash?
Use the standard GraphQL Content API Query action for a configured query, or arrange for a persisted query to be registered before using this workflow.
