Notis

Prepare reminders for links with a deadline

Use a recurring Notis run to start a timely reminder email from the details you provide.

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 link tied to a deadline can be forgotten until the window to act has nearly passed.

  • Give deadline reminders a consistent starting point.
  • Keep the reminder aligned with dates you supply.
  • Review the message before it is sent.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bitly and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Describe in one instruction the reminder draft to prepare from the link details and dates you provide.
  • 4Choose notis_cron, set the appropriate schedule, and choose a report destination.
  • 5Test with one example and verify the dates and wording in the draft.

Questions about this workflow

Does Notis know when a Bitly link expires?

No link expiry trigger or lookup is provided here. Supply the relevant deadline and reminder context.

Will recipients receive the reminder automatically?

No. The automation creates a Gmail draft for you to review and send.
