Send a clear update from supplied text
Reduce the effort of turning long notes into a short email update.
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
Long notes take time to trim into a clear message, which can cause useful updates to wait unsent.
- Process the supplied text with Abstract before composing.
- Create a concise message from provided material.
- Send the update through Gmail in the same flow.

- 5Test with one real text sample and recipient.
