Capture a Marvin task in Gmail
Send the important details to your inbox when a task needs a quick handoff or follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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 captured task can lose its context when its reason, next step, or deadline is not visible where you follow up.
- Keep task context with the follow-up
- Make a next step easier to spot
- Use a webhook when an immediate capture is useful
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 turn the task details included with a webhook request into a concise email, preserving supplied dates and context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example by sending a task payload and reviewing the email.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook read Marvin automatically?
The webhook starts the automation; include the task details in the request for Notis to use.
Can it invent a due date when none is supplied?
No. The instruction should preserve supplied dates and leave missing dates unspecified.
