Keep trade activity notes ready to review
When your process sends a trade activity webhook, get a clear summary drafted for your inbox.
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
Trade details can get buried among app switches, making it harder to remember what to review after a busy stretch.
- Gather webhook-supplied trade details in a single draft.
- Add a written review step to your trading routine.
- Keep the summary unsent until you check it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the trade activity details supplied by the incoming webhook and create a Gmail draft.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the draft contains only the supplied details.
