Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update External Filters for Profile
Tool to update external filters for a specific profile. Use when toggling third-party filters after listing them.
Why this helps
Third-party filter requests often sit in email while someone still needs to find and change the profile settings.
- Reduce tool switching for clear external filter requests.
- Apply related external filter updates in one action.
- Keep a report of the requested change and result.
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 act only on clear requests, identify the profile and external filter states, verify the intended changes, then update and report them.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message that names the profile and external filter changes.
Questions about this workflow
Are external filters the same as native filters?
No. This workflow updates third-party external filters. Native profile filters use separate Control D actions.
Can Notis guess which external filters were meant?
No. The request or your instruction should identify them clearly. Ambiguity should be reported for follow-up.
