List Contentful spaces from an Outlook request

Stop searching through old setup notes. Let Notis return a current Contentful space list when a request lands in Outlook.

Trigger

New Outlook Message

Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.

Action

List spaces

Lists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful. this is a fundamental operation needed before performing any other content management actions since most operations require a space id.

Why this helps

Space names and ids are easy to lose across long email threads, causing unnecessary context switching.

  • Get a current space inventory quickly
  • Reduce context switching between email and Contentful
  • Give collaborators a concise, usable summary

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Contentful in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and describe that it should list Contentful spaces relevant to each incoming request.
  • 3Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real request email.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create or change any Contentful content?

No. It only lists the Contentful spaces your account can access and summarizes the result.

Can Notis decide which spaces are relevant?

Yes, if your instruction states the terms or project context to use. Otherwise it can return the full list.
