Notis

Reply in context to prospect conversations

Keep the response in the conversation so you can move forward without rebuilding the thread by hand.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Reply to email thread

Sends a reply within a specific gmail thread using the original thread's subject, requiring a valid `thread id` and correctly formatted email addresses. supports attachments via the `attachment` parameter with valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, and `name`.

Why this helps

Finding the right message, reconstructing the context, and writing a reply can make simple follow-up feel like a separate task.

  • Keep the response attached to the existing conversation.
  • Use request context to shape a relevant reply.
  • Cut steps between a follow-up decision and action.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Apollo and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction what reply to send using the supplied thread id and context, including when to skip sending.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real thread and confirm the thread id and recipient context are correct.

Questions about this workflow

What is required to reply in the right conversation?

The request needs a valid, accessible Gmail thread id and enough context for an appropriate response. Gmail uses the thread's original subject.

Can this respond to an email that is not in a thread?

The listed action replies to an existing thread. Use the send email action for a new message instead.
