Get a Gmail alert when QR scans spike
Know when a QR code suddenly draws attention, without keeping a dashboard open.
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
A sudden scan surge can signal a successful campaign or a problem, but checking analytics manually makes it easy to miss.
- Surface scan surges while they are happening.
- Keep the QR code and event details in one inbox message.
- Reduce repeated dashboard checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconstac and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to email the team when a Beaconstac scan webhook reports a scan spike, including the QR code and available scan details.
- 4Pick notis_webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Beaconstac webhook example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run from a built-in Beaconstac trigger?
No. Beaconstac trigger events are not listed here, so this workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches the Notis webhook.
What scan details can the email include?
Notis can include details present in the webhook request, such as the QR code identifier and scan information. Any threshold or context not present in the request must be supplied in your instruction or example.
