Send proposal expiry reminders on time
Have Notis send a timely reminder based on a confirmed expiry date, so you do not have to keep it in working memory.
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
Remembering every proposal deadline is difficult when deadlines live in a separate sales tool.
- Reduce missed proposal deadlines.
- Use an explicit expiry date in the message.
- Keep reminders consistent and concise.
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 concise expiry reminder only when the proposal context includes a verified recipient and expiry date.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and connect your deadline detection process to its webhook endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a proposal containing an expiry date and verify the recipient.
Questions about this workflow
Does Better Proposals provide a built-in expiry trigger?
No trigger events are listed. A webhook request must come from a process that detects the date and starts the automation.
What if the proposal has no expiry date?
Tell Notis not to send a reminder if the expiry date is missing or uncertain.
