Check whether a related entry already exists before you begin from scratch.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
A new request can duplicate content that already exists under a different name or topic.
- Surface related entries before work begins.
- Compare the request topic with returned content fields.
- Reduce duplicate searches and repeated content work.
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.
- 3Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one request related to an existing entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does this guarantee there are no duplicates?
No. It reports likely related entries from the query results. Search scope and available fields determine what it can find.
Does it create a new entry if none is found?
No. The available actions query Contentful data; they do not create entries.
