Draft a Gmail expense record from a text
Capture purchase details in an email draft before they disappear into a message thread.
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
Small expenses shared over text are hard to reconcile when the details never make it into your records.
- Turn texted expense details into a reviewable record.
- Keep amounts and dates tied to the source message.
- Avoid guessing at details the message does not include.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a prompt describing the expense details to capture.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger for incoming Android Texter message data.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real expense message and verify the figures and date.
Questions about this workflow
Can it calculate missing totals or taxes?
Ask it to organize the values provided. Do not rely on it to supply amounts or tax details absent from the message.
Can the draft include a receipt attachment?
Only if the webhook data makes the receipt available in a supported form. Verify that using a real example.
