Get Contentful space details from an email

Give every space question a dependable answer without opening multiple tools.

Trigger

New Outlook Message

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

Action

Get space

Retrieves details of a specific space by its id. this action is used to get information about a single space in contentful.

Why this helps

Important space ids are often buried in email, while the latest name and version need a fresh lookup.

  • Retrieve current space metadata
  • Surface the version needed for later updates
  • Create a repeatable response pattern for space questions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Contentful once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that extracts the referenced space id and asks for a concise detail brief.
  • 3Select New Outlook Message as the trigger.
  • 4Set the report destination and test it with an email containing a real space id.

Questions about this workflow

What if the email has no space id?

Tell Notis to report that the id is missing and request clarification instead of guessing.

Why is the version useful?

Contentful requires the current version when a space name is updated, and the detail response includes sys.version.
