Find activation friction in a scheduled email
Make onboarding signals easier to revisit by bringing the useful changes into Gmail.
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
Activation friction can be hard to prioritize when behavioral data is checked only during ad hoc investigations.
- Review activation patterns on a predictable cadence.
- Give potential friction points a clear next step.
- Keep analysis close to the work that follows.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amplitude and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which onboarding or activation events to review and to email observed friction signals with supporting evidence and questions.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the summary names any missing baseline.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow assume a standard onboarding event set?
No. Specify the events or activation measure you want reviewed in your instruction.
Can it tell me the exact cause of friction?
It can identify patterns in returned data and propose investigation questions. It should not present an unverified cause as fact.
