Move to Trash

Moves an existing, non-deleted email message to the trash for the specified user.

Why this helps

When team members delete Airtable views or projects, related emails pile up, cluttering inboxes and losing context.

  • Keep your inbox clean without manual work
  • Archive related email context when a project ends
  • Reduce decision fatigue on what to delete

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a view is deleted in Airtable, move emails related to that view to trash.'
  • 3Notis uses the view name to match emails by subject or labels.
  • 4Specify which Gmail labels to check for matching emails.
  • 5Test by deleting a view and confirming emails are archived.

Questions about this workflow

Will this permanently delete my emails?

No. They go to trash, not permanent delete, so you can recover them for 30 days.

What if I want to keep the emails but label them differently?

You can ask Notis to apply a label (like 'archived-projects') instead of moving to trash.

How does Notis know which emails to archive?

You tell Notis: match by subject keywords, labels, or sender. It's flexible.
