Turn a beach search request into an email

Send a request to your Notis webhook and get the matching beach results in Gmail.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Send Email

Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.

Why this helps

When a beach search starts in another tool, copying results into an email adds another manual step.

  • Start a search from an HTTP request.
  • Summarize results returned by Beach Day API.
  • Share the results through Gmail.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beach Day API and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Beach Search Results Email.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the incoming request's search criteria, summarize returned beaches, and email the results.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this automation?

An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. The request needs to provide the search criteria Notis should use.

Will it include results the API does not return?

No. The email summarizes the search results provided by Beach Day API.
