Turn a nutrition request into a reviewable summary
Send a food lookup request and get the returned details gathered in a draft.
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
Ad hoc research requests can turn into scattered notes and repeated lookups.
- Start a lookup from a request event
- Keep the returned details together
- Review before sharing the summary
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api ninjas and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and name the lookup summary.
- 3Tell Notis to look up the food items in the incoming request and create a Gmail draft that summarizes the returned nutrition data.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one sample request and verify the summary.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the request include?
Include the food names and any serving sizes or details needed for the lookup.
Will the summary include information Api ninjas does not return?
No. Notis can summarize the returned data, and you can supply any extra context in the request.
