Auto-label emails from your upcoming calendar events

Notis reads your calendar and automatically labels all related emails in Gmail. Emails about a meeting get labeled with the event name—so you find them instantly.

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

You have a meeting coming up, and important emails are buried in your inbox. You hunt through email searching for anything related to the meeting, losing focus and time.

  • Find meeting context faster by having all related emails auto-labeled and grouped
  • Reduce prep time by seeing email threads organized by event, not scattered in your inbox
  • Maintain focus during meetings by having all context and correspondence in one labeled section

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Gmail to Notis
  • 2Tell Notis 'Label my emails based on my calendar events' or 'Create a label for each meeting and put related emails there'
  • 3Select the trigger: Calendar Event Sync
  • 4Optionally customize label names or which events to track
  • 5Test by creating a calendar event, sending yourself test emails mentioning it, and verifying they get labeled

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which emails match a calendar event?

Notis reads the email subject and body, looking for keywords from your calendar event (meeting title, attendee names, etc.). If it finds a match, it applies the label.

What if emails match the wrong event?

You can refine your automation rules. Tell Notis 'Only label emails that mention [specific keyword]' or 'Exclude [subject line pattern]' to tighten the match.

Do labels get removed after the meeting?

Labels stay on the emails permanently so you have a history. You can ask Notis to clean up old labels or archive them after a certain time.
