Catch stalled projects before they fade
A short project check-in can turn vague concern into one practical next step.
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
Projects without visible movement can remain quietly stuck until a deadline makes the problem urgent.
- Notice projects that may need attention
- Get a suggested next action for each item
- Keep the check-in separate from a full status report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review Marvin projects for missing recent progress and email a short check-in with evidence and a next-action suggestion.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the message does not treat missing activity data as proof of a stall.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as stalled?
Specify a review window or signal in your instruction; Notis should state when the available activity data is incomplete.
Does the automation update project status?
No. It sends an email for you to review.
