Prepare a reference check email draft
Start reference outreach with relevant context and focused questions ready for review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Reference checks are easy to postpone when the request and role context have to be assembled from scratch.
- Carry relevant candidate and role context into the request.
- Prepare focused questions for the reference conversation.
- Keep a person in control of the final message and recipient.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Reference Check Prep and describe the request and questions using supplied context.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real candidate record and review the Gmail draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does it find reference contact addresses?
No. Provide a valid contact address in the request context and verify it before sending.
Can it make claims about the candidate?
Ask it to use only supplied resume details and clearly distinguish those from questions or information still to confirm.
