Notis

Nightly Drafts Reminder

Each evening, Notis sends you a list of unsent Gmail drafts so nothing falls through the cracks.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

List drafts

Retrieves a paginated list of email drafts from a user's gmail account. use verbose=true to get full draft details including subject, body, sender, and timestamp.

Why this helps

Founders often write drafts and forget to send them, causing missed communication and dropped follow-ups.

  • Never forget to send an email again
  • Built-in accountability for pending messages
  • Reduce end-of-day email stress

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Airtable to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Every evening at 6pm, list my Gmail drafts and send me a reminder.'
  • 3Notis fetches all your unsent drafts and sends a summary.
  • 4Review, finish any that need work, and send them.
  • 5Optional: Notis can auto-send drafts if you mark them ready.
