Use emailed abuse reports to inform Discord moderation rules
When abuse reports arrive by email, let Notis help turn recurring, actionable issues into a moderation rule for review.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create guild auto moderation rule
Creates a new auto moderation rule for a discord guild, requiring 'manage guild' permission; rule parameters are passed in the json request body (see request schema description for body content).
Why this helps
Recurring abuse reports can demand attention while the moderation changes needed to prevent repeat incidents get delayed.
- Connect incoming reports to a concrete moderation action.
- Reduce repeated manual review of similar abuse patterns.
- Keep rule creation tied to real reports from your community.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Discord auto moderation rule only when an incoming report provides enough detail for a clear rule, and send the result for team review.
- 4Choose New Gmail Message Received as the trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can every abuse report produce a useful rule?
No. Tell Notis to act only when a report supports a clear rule. Reports without enough detail should be routed for review instead.
What permissions does this need?
Creating a guild auto moderation rule requires the Discordbot to have manage guild permission in the guild.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
Discordbot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add recipient to group channel
Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
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.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Gmail and Discordbot, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
