Get a weekly recap of your Alpaca watchlist
A short scheduled recap can make it easier to spot what deserves another look.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
A long watchlist is hard to revisit consistently when each check means opening multiple screens.
- See chosen symbols together in a scheduled email.
- Reduce repeated manual checks of your watchlist.
- Choose the schedule that fits your review cadence.

- 1Connect Alpaca and Gmail once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis to email a concise recap of current Alpaca market data for the symbols you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the selected symbols and summary.
