Fetch emails

Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.

Why this helps

You don't know if you've already emailed someone, what you talked about, or if they're a warm or cold lead. You send generic messages because you lack context, and it feels impersonal.

  • No more duplicate or tone-deaf emails
  • You know their story before you reply
  • Personalization comes naturally
  • Fewer 'we already talked' awkward moments

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect HubSpot and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a new contact is added, search Gmail for all their emails and show me the threads. Flag if there's prior conversation, or note if they're brand new.'
  • 3Pick your notification channel.
  • 4Select 'Contact Created' as the trigger.
  • 5Test by adding a contact you've emailed before and verify their history surfaces.

Questions about this workflow

What if the contact has no prior email history?

Notis flags them as a fresh lead. You get context that they're new.

How far back does Notis search?

All the way back, unless you specify a date range. You can ask for 'emails from the last 6 months' if you prefer.

Can I see a summary instead of raw emails?

Yes. Ask Notis to summarize the conversation history, key topics, and next steps mentioned.
