Get a contextual draft from a submitted contact
Send a contact into Notis and get a draft that reflects the profile details Bettercontact can verify.
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
Writing a relevant first email from a bare contact record takes research and focus that are hard to find between meetings.
- Turn an incoming contact into a prepared email draft.
- Use returned contact details to add relevant context.
- Keep the final send decision with you.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to enrich each submitted contact and draft a relevant Gmail email using only details returned by Bettercontact.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contact and check the resulting draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bettercontact provide the trigger?
No. The workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches the Notis webhook, then Notis can use Bettercontact for enrichment.
Can the draft include details that are not in the returned profile?
Notis should use only returned details or facts you provide in the instruction. It should not invent profile information.
