Start the week with a benchmark digest draft
Have a scheduled summary of available Bench results ready to review, with gaps in the data made clear.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Remembering to gather performance metrics and write a regular update adds another recurring task to a busy week.
- Put a recurring metrics review on a schedule.
- Get a reviewable draft instead of an automatically sent report.
- Make unavailable history or comparison data explicit.
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 Bench metrics to summarize for the weekly digest and to create a Gmail draft.
- 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 draft contents.
Questions about this workflow
Can the digest compare this week with last week?
Only if Bench returns the relevant history or you provide the comparison data. The instruction can ask Notis to state when that context is missing.
Does the schedule send the digest?
No. This workflow creates a Gmail draft for review.
