Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action

Why this helps
Small project setting requests linger in email and become inconsistent with the team's current plan.
- Reduce manual handoff for project metadata changes.
- Use the requested changes while the context is available.
- Keep project updates connected to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Crowdin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe which project setting requests qualify and require a project identifier and explicit requested changes.
- 4Pick the New Gmail Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, complete change request and verify the updated project metadata.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of changes does this support?

What if the email only says 'update the project'?
