Make the next on-call handoff easier
Give the next person a practical starting point with known incident context and questions that still need answers.
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
A handoff can leave the next person searching for what happened, what remains open, and where to focus first.
- Prepare a handoff outline from incident and on-call information Better Stack makes available.
- Call out unresolved questions instead of guessing at missing context.
- Give the incoming responder a focused email to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review available Better Stack incident and on-call information and create a Gmail draft with current issues, known context, and unanswered handoff questions.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule near the handoff time and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the draft for missing context.
Questions about this workflow
Will the draft know who is on call?
Only if the relevant on-call information is available to Notis from Better Stack. Check the first draft and supply missing context in your instruction if needed.
Does the workflow send the handoff email?
No. It creates a Gmail draft for the team to review and send.
