Answer station questions with a prepared draft
Give Notis the station question through a webhook and review a clear reply draft in Gmail.
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
Answering a practical station question can require a separate lookup before you can respond to the original message.
- Look up station details available through Bart.
- Prepare a reply without sending it automatically.
- Keep the original question context in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the webhook's station question to retrieve available Bart details and draft a concise Gmail reply.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real station question and check the reply for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Does the draft reply to a specific thread?
This workflow creates a draft email. Thread-specific reply behavior is not assumed.
What if Bart lacks the requested information?
