Hand off company research with a clear next step
Give a teammate the context they need without making them retrace your research.
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
Research handoffs lose momentum when findings, uncertainties, and ownership are left implicit.
- Summarize useful findings in one message draft.
- Keep unknowns and unanswered questions visible.
- Include the next step and owner you specify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigpicture io and Gmail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the handoff outcome.
- 3Ask Notis to research the company and draft a handoff including the teammate, owner, and next step you provide.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real company and review the handoff draft.
Questions about this workflow
