Give clients a clear heads-up before a proposal expires
Use the expiry details already available in the proposal to prepare a brief, useful reminder in Gmail.
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
Proposal deadlines can pass unnoticed when follow-up depends on remembering dates across tools.
- Bring upcoming proposal deadlines back into view.
- Reference the stated expiry rather than guessing.
- Review the reminder before it reaches the client.
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 draft a brief reminder only when a stated expiry date is provided, and include that date accurately.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and connect the expiry detection process to its webhook endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a proposal that has an expiry date.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow calculate the expiry date?
It uses expiry information provided in the proposal context. If a date is unavailable, the instruction should tell Notis to flag that instead of guessing.
Will the reminder be sent automatically?
No. The Gmail action creates a draft for review.
