Keep replaced meeting follow-up drafts from piling up

Remove an outdated draft once you have confirmed it is safe to discard.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Delete Draft

Permanently deletes a specific gmail draft using its id; ensure the draft exists and the user has necessary permissions for the given `user id`.

Why this helps

Revised follow-ups can leave several similar drafts in Gmail, making it unclear which one is current.

  • Remove a draft only when its exact id is known and confirmed obsolete.
  • Reduce confusion among multiple versions of a follow-up.
  • Keep draft cleanup tied to a clear replacement decision.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Avoma and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to delete only the specifically identified obsolete draft after confirming a replacement exists and its exact draft id is available.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and verify the draft id before allowing deletion.

Questions about this workflow

Can it find and decide which draft to delete by itself?

Only if the correct draft is explicitly identifiable and accessible. Have Notis stop for review if it cannot confirm the exact draft id and that the draft is obsolete.

Is deleting a draft reversible?

Deletion is permanent for that draft. Confirm the exact draft and replacement before running this workflow.
