Put a Beeminder update into the conversation already underway
Start a progress check from an HTTP request and add the result as a reply in the relevant Gmail thread.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Reply to email thread
Sends a reply within a specific gmail thread using the original thread's subject, requiring a valid `thread id` and correctly formatted email addresses. supports attachments via the `attachment` parameter with valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, and `name`.
Why this helps
Progress updates can lose context when they arrive as separate messages instead of continuing the existing conversation.
- Keep an update with its original conversation
- Use current Beeminder information in a reply
- Reduce the work of writing a progress response
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beeminder and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which Beeminder progress to include and identify the Gmail thread to reply to.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and thread, then review the reply content and recipients.
