Handle emailed community access requests with Discord invites
When someone asks to join your community by email, Notis can prepare a channel invite as the next step.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create channel invite
Creates a new invite for the specified discord channel, provided the bot has 'create instant invite' permission for that channel.
Why this helps
Access requests arriving by email create extra back and forth before someone can share the right Discord invite.
- Reduce manual steps for community access requests.
- Create an invite for the intended Discord channel.
- Keep access handling connected to the request that started it.
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 an invite for the appropriate channel when an incoming email requests community access.
- 4Choose New Gmail Message Received as the trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically send the invite to the requester?
The listed Discord action creates an invite. Ask Notis to report the result so your team can review and share it through the appropriate channel.
What permissions are needed?
The Discordbot must have permission to create instant invites in the selected channel.

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

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.
