Ask for a warm introduction with the context ready
Make a specific, considerate request without searching through contacts and composing from scratch.
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
A warm introduction request can stall while you work out who might connect you and how to ask.
- Use the contact context available in Affinity.
- Make the reason for the introduction explicit.
- Review the recipient and wording before sending.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for warm introduction requests.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request and available Affinity contacts to draft a concise, specific introduction request in Gmail.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and review the recipient and draft.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify the best mutual connection?
It can only use relationships and contact details available from Affinity. Supply any additional context in the request.
Does it contact the mutual connection automatically?
No. It creates a draft for you to review and send.
