Turn a submitted HTML brief into an email draft
Give Notis HTML and a little context. It returns a PDF attachment in a Gmail draft you can check before sending.
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
A formatted brief can lose its layout when pasted into an email or shared as raw HTML.
- Preserve the supplied HTML as a PDF artifact.
- Keep the outbound message editable until you approve it.
- Use the webhook context to explain the document in a few lines.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the outcome in one instruction: convert the supplied HTML to PDF and create a Gmail draft with the PDF attached.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with a representative HTML brief and review the draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does the HTML have to be hosted online?
Api2pdf supports HTML to PDF conversion. Supply the HTML content through the automation context in a form your connected setup can provide.
Will the draft be sent automatically?
No. Gmail's create-draft action leaves it in drafts for you to review.
