Ask for creative approval with the proof attached to the context
Prepare a focused approval request when a proof is ready, so reviewers can respond with a clear yes or specific changes.
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
Vague approval requests create extra back and forth and make it hard to know whether a creative is ready to ship.
- Makes the requested decision explicit.
- Keeps the proof reference alongside the approval ask.
- Leaves the message for review before it is sent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bannerbear and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Gmail draft from the supplied Bannerbear proof details, asking the named reviewer to approve or list changes.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real proof request and review the draft before sending.
Questions about this workflow
Does the draft include the actual image file?
The prompt can use a supplied asset reference. Attachments require a supported attachment input and valid file details; otherwise include a link supplied with the request.
Does this send the approval request?
No. It creates a draft for you to review and send.
