Research products people ask about, straight from Gmail
A product request arrives by email. Notis can start a Countdown collection so the research has somewhere to go.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create a new collection

Why this helps
Product questions get buried in the inbox before anyone has time to look up listings and market details.
- Turn a new product inquiry into a research starting point.
- Reduce inbox triage and manual handoffs.
- Keep product research requests grouped in a Countdown collection.

- 1Connect Gmail and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create a Countdown collection to research the product mentioned in each new inquiry.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real product inquiry.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
A new Gmail message received trigger starts it. Notis can use the message content to identify a product inquiry.
Does this automatically create eBay requests?
The selected action creates a Countdown collection. The listed action does not add individual product requests, so tell Notis to create a collection for the research workflow and handle request details separately.
