Make task handoffs easier to send
Give a collaborator the context, status, and request they need in one draft.
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
Handing off work takes time when the background and requested next step have to be reconstructed from memory.
- Keep handoff context together
- State the requested next step clearly
- Review the draft before sending
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 use task details supplied in the webhook request to draft a handoff email with context, current status, and a clear ask.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the draft before sending it.
