Know which donor emails still need a reply
Start the day with a short list of donor conversations that could use your attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch emails
Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval.
Why this helps
Donor follow-ups get buried when inbox triage and fundraising records live in separate places.
- Reduce inbox scanning and context switching.
- Prioritize donor conversations using available Blackbaud context.
- Keep possible follow-ups visible without sending an automatic reply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and Gmail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the daily donor email review in one instruction.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real donor email and verify the review.
