Spot retention changes in a weekly email
See the retention signals worth a closer look without adding another dashboard check to your week.
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
Retention changes can hide in routine reporting until the team has already lost time reacting late.
- Bring retention signals into a familiar inbox.
- Surface changes that merit investigation.
- Keep conclusions grounded in the data available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amplitude and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation through Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which retention signals or cohorts to review and to email changes with caveats and follow-up questions.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the digest distinguishes evidence from guesses.
Questions about this workflow
Does Amplitude provide a universal retention risk score?
No score is assumed. Tell Notis which measures or cohorts to examine, and provide any baseline that is not available in the returned data.
Can the digest declare why retention changed?
It can summarize evidence and suggest questions. Treat explanations as hypotheses unless the data directly supports them.
