Put a recurring HTML report into a PDF draft
Keep a recurring report easy to share: Notis can convert the configured HTML to PDF and prepare the Gmail message.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 repeated report handoff means remembering to capture formatted content and build the email again each time.
- Convert configured HTML content to a shareable PDF on a schedule.
- Keep the email in drafts so the report can be checked.
- Repeat the document preparation without rebuilding the email each time.
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 configured HTML report to PDF and create a Gmail draft with the PDF attached.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test one scheduled run and review the report and draft.
Questions about this workflow
How does the workflow get updated report content?
The HTML supplied to Api2pdf must be available to the automation at run time. If it changes, make sure the current content is accessible in the run context.
Can the draft be addressed to a team?
Include the intended recipients in the instruction or available run context, and confirm them in Gmail before sending.
