Notis

Send referral thanks with less follow-up effort

Set your thank-you message and contact criteria once. Notis can check selected referrals on a schedule and send when an address is verified.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

Referral thanks matter, but they can fall behind when contact research and follow-up compete with everything else.

  • Keep referral acknowledgments from slipping through the cracks.
  • Verify contact email before sending.
  • Use a message consistent with your own guidance.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bettercontact and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for referral thanks.
  • 3Tell Notis which available referral contacts to enrich and what thank-you message to send through Gmail when an email is verified.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real contact and confirm the thank-you message is appropriate.

Questions about this workflow

Does Notis know who referred the contact?

Only if that information is supplied in the contact input or another available source. Include it if you want the message to mention it.

What if a referral contact is not verified?

Instruct Notis to skip sending and report the contact for review.
