Close the loop graciously when a proposal is declined
Send a brief thank-you that respects the client's decision and leaves the relationship on good terms.
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 busy day can make it easy to leave a declined proposal without a closing response.
- Close the conversation with courtesy.
- Avoid pressuring a client who has declined.
- Keep the response short and focused.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Proposals and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to send a brief thank-you after a decline without guessing the reason or asking for a new commitment.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and connect the proposal status detection process to its webhook endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one declined proposal and verify the recipient.
Questions about this workflow
Will this message try to change the client's mind?
No, unless you explicitly instruct otherwise. A courteous thank-you can simply acknowledge the decision.
Can it send if the client identity is missing?
Tell Notis not to send when the recipient cannot be verified and to report the missing detail.
