Show when an email follow-up happened with a Discord reaction

Give a shared Discord follow-up message a visible signal after you send the related email.

Trigger

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.

Action

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.

Why this helps

A team can lose track of whether an outbound follow-up happened when that status lives only in one person's inbox.

  • Make a completed email follow-up visible in Discord.
  • Use a lightweight signal on a shared message.
  • Reduce repeated questions about whether someone sent the update.

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 add the chosen reaction to the specified Discord follow-up message when the matching email is sent.
  • 4Choose Email Sent as the trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Can the reaction action find a message by itself?

The action requires a specific Discord message. Include the intended message context or identifier in your instruction or provide it to Notis as needed.

Does this confirm the email contents?

The sent event provides message metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID. Use the reaction as a follow-up signal, not as proof of message content.
