Make monthly link updates easier to send
Start your monthly update with a Gmail draft shaped around the Bitly details you supply.
Trigger

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

Why this helps
Regular link updates are easy to postpone when the source details and email wording live in different places.
- Reduce the effort of starting a recurring update.
- Keep the update grounded in supplied information.
- Retain a human review before sending.

- 1Connect Bitly and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction the monthly update draft to prepare from supplied Bitly details.
- 4Choose notis_cron, set the monthly schedule, and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real update example and review the resulting draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically retrieve Bitly performance metrics?
No Bitly data retrieval action is listed. Provide the figures or link information the email should include.
Will the email go out on the schedule?
The schedule runs the automation and creates a Gmail draft. The draft remains for you to review and send.
