Notis

Topic-aware Gmail label suggestions

You get a WhatsApp message and wonder 'which label should this go to?' Notis instantly lists all related labels so you pick the right one—or Notis picks it for you.

Trigger

New Message Received

Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.

Action

List Gmail labels

Retrieves a list of all system and user-created labels for the specified gmail account.

Why this helps

You have dozens of labels and spend mental energy deciding which one fits. It takes longer than it should, breaking your flow.

  • Stop overthinking label selection—suggestions appear instantly
  • Consistent labeling because Notis uses the same logic every time
  • Reduce decision fatigue around email organization
  • Labels stay relevant to your actual work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: "When a WhatsApp message arrives, suggest the 3-5 Gmail labels that best fit the topic."
  • 3Set the trigger to "New Message Received".
  • 4List your Gmail labels and their meanings so Notis understands them.
  • 5Test by sending a WhatsApp message and checking if the right labels are suggested.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis apply the label automatically or does it just suggest?

You can have Notis suggest only (you pick), or auto-apply if it's very confident.

What if the message doesn't fit any label?

Notis can flag it as needing a new label or suggest creating one.

Will this work if my label names are vague?

It works better with descriptive names (e.g., 'Project X - Client Approval' instead of 'Project X'). You can update label names or add descriptions.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Gmail. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Whatsapp triggers

Gmail actions

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
