Notis

Daily Gmail thread digest

You wake up to an overflowing inbox and have no idea where to start. Notis creates a daily digest of your most important threads so you can prioritize in seconds.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List threads

Retrieves a list of email threads from a gmail account, identified by `user id` (email address or 'me'), supporting filtering and pagination.

Why this helps

Your inbox grows faster than you can process it. You lose track of important threads and accidentally ignore urgent follow-ups.

  • Know what's important at a glance—no mental load sorting emails
  • Never miss a critical thread
  • Start your day focused on the right work
  • Reduce decision fatigue about inbox triage

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: "Every morning at 8am, create a Gmail draft listing the most important threads I need to respond to."
  • 3Set the trigger to "Notis Cron" and choose the time (e.g., daily at 8am).
  • 4Define 'important' (e.g., threads with labels 'urgent' or 'client', or threads with no response yet).
  • 5The next morning, check your Gmail drafts for the digest.

Questions about this workflow

What if I'm on vacation? Will the digest keep coming?

Yes, unless you pause the automation. You can also use Notis workflow rules to skip it on weekends or vacation.

Can I customize what shows up in the digest?

Yes. Tell Notis exactly which threads to include (labels, keywords, senders, time windows).

How detailed will the digest be?

You decide: just thread subjects and senders, or include preview snippets of the latest message.

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
