Keep Control D device settings aligned with sent email
When you have sent a clear device change instruction, Notis can carry the documented update into Control D and report back.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Modify Device
Tool to modify an existing device. Use when you need to update device settings by providing its ID.
Why this helps
A device change agreed in email can remain undone because updating DNS settings happens in a different tool.
- Follow through on device changes recorded in sent messages.
- Reduce the chance that an agreed update gets stranded in email.
- Get a run report with the target device and outcome.
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 find sent messages with an explicit device change, verify the device identifier and requested settings, then modify the device and report the result.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent message describing a device change.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer which device the email refers to?
Only when the message or your instruction identifies it unambiguously. Require a report instead of a change when the device identifier is missing or unclear.
Does this run on received emails?
No. This workflow uses Gmail's Email Sent event.
