Update Control D custom rules from Gmail requests
Handle a specific rule edit from email with a checked profile and rule identity and a clear account of the change.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update Custom Rule by Rule ID
Tool to update an existing custom rule by its ID. Use when modifying details like name, description, severity, or enabled status for a specific rule.
Why this helps
Small custom rule edits are easy to defer when the request is separate from the profile where the rule lives.
- Reduce follow-up steps for clear rule edits.
- Keep change intent connected to the incoming request.
- Avoid modifying a rule when its identity is uncertain.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify explicit custom rule edit requests, confirm profile ID and rule ID, apply only the requested rule changes, and report the result.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that identifies a rule and the intended update.
Questions about this workflow
What information is required to update a rule?
The profile and rule must be identified, and the request must make the intended change clear. Notis should report missing details rather than guess.
Can this create a new rule?
No. It updates an existing rule by ID. New rules use a separate Control D action.
