Send a scheduled benchmark status update
Give your stakeholders a clear, recurring view of benchmark status using the data and context you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Recurring status updates are easy to delay when collecting the numbers and writing the email depend on manual follow-up.
- Reduce manual work on a recurring status email.
- Use returned metrics and user-provided context in the update.
- Keep claims grounded in data available for that run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bench and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which available metrics and context to include and who should receive the status email.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and set the recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the email content.
Questions about this workflow
Will it send the status without review?
Yes. This instruction asks Notis to send an email when the scheduled automation runs. Test the content with one real example first.
Can it report on historical trends?
Only when Bench returns the necessary historical results or you supply them. Otherwise, Notis should describe the current available metrics without inventing a trend.
