Start a Beeminder progress note with a webhook
When another tool or process can make an HTTP request, use it to ask Notis for a fresh Beeminder review and email draft.
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
A useful progress update can get delayed when it depends on remembering to start the review manually.
- Start a review from an HTTP request
- Keep the resulting email as a draft
- Use Beeminder data in a timely progress note
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 to review the relevant Beeminder goals and draft a progress note when the automation runs.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real HTTP request and review the resulting draft.
