Why this helps
Research links buried in email can take time to open, classify, and summarize before you can decide what to do.
- See what a linked page contains without opening every tab.
- Get a consistent summary to support a faster decision.
- Keep research requests connected to the email that started them.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to analyze links in new messages and summarize the page type and useful findings.
- 4Choose the New Gmail Message Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that contains a public web link.
