Label Gmail messages mentioned in WhatsApp
Capture a sorting decision in chat and apply it to the matching email.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Modify email labels
Adds and/or removes specified gmail labels for a message; ensure `message id` and all `label ids` are valid (use 'listlabels' for custom label ids).
Why this helps
Email organization requests get lost when they arrive outside the inbox and require manual searching.
- Carry a sorting request into Gmail.
- Use existing labels rather than inventing label identifiers.
- Flag unclear message or label references for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: When a WhatsApp message asks to label an email, find the intended Gmail message and apply the named existing label only when both are unambiguous; otherwise report what is missing.
- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and check the label on the intended Gmail message.
