Turn links in sent Gmail into trackable Dub links

Share a URL by email and have Notis prepare its short link in Dub.

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

Upsert a Link

Tool to create or update a short link in Dub. Use when you need to create a new short link or update an existing one. If the link already exists (matching domain and key), it will be updated; otherwise, a new link will be created.

Why this helps

Links you send to customers or collaborators can be difficult to track when shortening them means switching apps and repeating setup.

  • Create Dub links from URLs in sent messages
  • Reduce app switching after sharing a resource
  • Reuse the same domain and key to update an existing link

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Dub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe in one instruction how to find URLs in sent messages and create or update their Dub short links.
  • 4Pick the Email Sent trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sent email containing a URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does this shorten every URL in my sent email?

Tell Notis which URLs to include in your instruction, such as customer resource links. The Email Sent event starts the automation when you send a message.

What happens if the Dub link already exists?

The Upsert a Link action updates a link when its domain and key match; otherwise, it creates a new link.
