Automatically Label High-Priority Emails

When a high-priority Jira issue lands, Notis automatically labels related emails in Gmail so they stand out from regular inbox noise.

Trigger

New Issue

Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.

Action

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

High-priority emails get lost in a generic inbox because there's no automated way to highlight them based on Jira activity

  • High-priority work visually stands out in your inbox
  • No manual labeling—Notis handles it automatically
  • Filter and focus on what matters most

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Gmail to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a high-priority Jira issue is created, add a priority label to related emails.'
  • 3Create or specify the Gmail label you want to use (e.g., 'Urgent' or 'Priority-1').
  • 4Notis monitors new issues and applies labels automatically.
  • 5Test by creating a priority issue and checking if emails are labeled.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use different labels for different priority levels?

Yes. Tell Notis to use 'P1' label for critical issues and 'P2' for high-priority, etc.

What if there are no emails matching the issue yet?

Notis waits until emails from the issue reporter or related team members arrive, then retroactively applies the label.
