Context Appears When You're Mentioned
A teammate mentions you in #launches asking about a client email. Notis automatically retrieves your relevant emails about that client, so you can respond instantly without digging.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Fetch message by message ID
Fetches a specific email message by its id, provided the `message id` exists and is accessible to the authenticated `user id`.
Why this helps
You're mentioned in Slack, but lack the full context of past emails. Finding the information breaks your flow and slows your response.
- Respond to mentions with full context in seconds
- Avoid repeating work or missing past decisions
- Keep focus in Slack without context-switching
- Provide better answers by having all information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gmail.
- 2Create an automation: 'When someone mentions me in a channel, fetch my recent emails about that topic.'
- 3Notis will use Channel Message Received as your trigger and Fetch emails as your action.
- 4Configure the keywords Notis should search (project names, client names, etc.).
- 5Test by having a teammate mention you in a channel.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what topic to search for?
Notis analyzes the channel topic or message content. You can train it by specifying key search terms for each channel.
Will I be flooded with irrelevant emails?
Notis applies filters to return only recent, relevant emails. You can adjust sensitivity in the setup.
Can I get results in Slack or in Gmail?
Both. Notis can post a summary in Slack or link to Gmail. Pick whatever feels least interruptive.
