Get urgent staffing issues to the right inbox
Send a 7shifts staffing alert through Notis and email the people who can respond.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
A time-sensitive staffing issue can sit unnoticed if the right people are not looking at the schedule app.
- Routes urgent details to named email recipients
- Makes the needed response clear in the message
- Cuts time spent relaying an issue by hand
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 7shifts and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for urgent staffing alerts.
- 3Tell Notis to send a concise email with the staffing issue, relevant details in the webhook request, and the response needed to the recipients you specify.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real urgent staffing notification and verify the recipient list and email content.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide who should receive the alert?
Specify the recipients in your instruction or provide them in the request. Do not rely on information the webhook does not contain.
Does this rely on a built-in 7shifts event?
No. The trigger is a Notis webhook because no 7shifts trigger events are listed.
