Turn a Backendless event into a reviewable email draft
Prepare a useful notification draft from the event details Backendless already provides.
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
Manual notification writing adds another task each time an event needs to be communicated.
- Draft a consistent message using event details already supplied.
- Review the wording before it reaches recipients.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction how to turn the incoming Backendless event into a Gmail draft, including intended recipients, tone, and essential details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the notification?
No. It creates a draft. A person can review it and send it from Gmail.
What if the event does not include enough detail?
Notis can only use available information. Specify required details in the instruction and include them in the request.
