Prepare for conversations with contact and channel context

Bring contact details and current channel presence into one scheduled preparation pass.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get contacts

Fetches contacts (connections) for the authenticated google account, allowing selection of specific data fields and pagination.

Why this helps

Preparing for conversations takes longer when contacts and channel activity must be checked separately.

  • Review contact information alongside channel activity.
  • Reduce app switching before conversations.
  • Keep a recurring preparation routine simple.

  • 1Connect Ably and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
  • 3Describe which contacts and Ably channels to review for conversation preparation.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example.
