Find email follow-ups tied to your tasks
Let a scheduled review search Gmail for messages connected to the task context you care about, then summarize the next steps.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Why this helps
A task can remain open because the useful reply is buried in an inbox that is hard to revisit.
- Bring relevant email context back into view on a schedule.
- Summarize messages into clear follow-up candidates.
- Spend less time scanning the inbox for a task-related reply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, describe the task context to check, the Gmail messages to fetch, and how to report likely follow-ups.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task context and check the results against Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
Can this determine which tasks are still open?
Only if that status is available to Notis through the connected apps or you specify the tasks to check. The instruction should state the scope clearly.
Does it change or label messages?
No. This workflow fetches Gmail messages for review and reports relevant follow-ups; it does not modify the mailbox.
