Give Clients a Timely Proposal Reminder
Send a helpful reminder while there is still time to review and decide.
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
Remembering each proposal's decision date competes with the many other dates on a founder's calendar.
- Check proposal information on a predictable schedule.
- Send a concise reminder tied to the stated decision date.
- Reduce manual inbox monitoring.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bidsketch and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: check the specified Bidsketch proposals and email the client when a provided decision date is approaching; report proposals missing a date.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real proposal whose decision date is known.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the decision date come from?
It must be available in the Bidsketch details Notis can retrieve or be supplied in your instruction. Missing dates should be reported.
Can I choose how early to send the reminder?
Yes. State the lead time in the automation instruction.
