Why this helps
Long emails can be difficult to prioritize when you are away from your desk or short on focus.
- Catch the main point without rereading a long message.
- Use a spoken recap during a walk or between meetings.
- Keep email triage moving when you cannot stop to read.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and ElevenLabs once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize useful incoming emails and generate a spoken recap, skipping routine or sensitive messages as you specify.
- 4Choose New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email and adjust the instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can this read every incoming email aloud?
You decide in the instruction which messages qualify. The workflow should avoid routine or sensitive messages unless you explicitly include them.
Does the trigger support custom Gmail filters?
No. Pick the available new message trigger, then describe in plain language which returned messages Notis should act on.
