Continue the email conversation when a document merge completes

Keep the next message in the same conversation, with the completed document handoff clearly stated.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Reply to email thread

Sends a reply within a specific gmail thread using the original thread's subject, requiring a valid `thread id` and correctly formatted email addresses. supports attachments via the `attachment` parameter with valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, and `name`.

Why this helps

A finished merge can lead to a new, disconnected email that makes the document trail harder to follow.

  • Keeps the handoff in the existing Gmail conversation.
  • Sends a contextual update when the document is ready.
  • Reduces manual composition for a routine completion message.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis what reply to send when a merge completes and ensure the webhook provides a valid Gmail thread id and correctly formatted recipients.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real thread and confirm the reply content and destination.
