Update Control D profiles from Gmail requests
Handle straightforward profile changes from the inbox with a clear instruction and a report of what Notis changed.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update Profile by ID
Tool to modify an existing profile by ID. Use when you need to update profile fields after confirming the current profile. Example: Update profile '123abc' with new name and settings.
Why this helps
Profile requests are easy to overlook when they arrive by email and need a separate trip into network settings.
- Reduce manual follow-up on clear profile change requests.
- Keep the requested change and resulting run report together.
- Avoid applying changes when the target profile or settings are unclear.
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 explicit profile update requests, confirm the exact profile and supported settings, then update the profile and report the changed details.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that names a profile and requested change.
Questions about this workflow
Can the email ask for any kind of profile change?
Notis can only apply settings supported by Control D's profile update action. Ask it to report unsupported or ambiguous requests for follow-up.
What happens if two profiles could match the request?
The instruction should require Notis to stop and report the ambiguity rather than choose a profile.
