Keep creative approvals from quietly stalling
A periodic inbox check can make open approval requests visible before they become launch blockers.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Why this helps
Approval requests are easy to lose among other email, leaving creative work waiting on a decision.
- Surfaces approval requests that may still be open.
- Creates a focused list for your next follow-up session.
- Cuts manual scanning across email threads.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bannerbite and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to search Gmail for Bannerbite approval requests in the chosen period and report threads with no apparent decision.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with real approval emails and check how Notis handles ambiguous replies.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow guarantee an approval is unanswered?
No. It can review available email content for signs of a decision. Define your approval language and review ambiguous cases.
Does it know which message is the latest?
Gmail search can return messages and threads, but your instruction should ask Notis to consider the latest relevant replies when assessing status.
