Turn a donor meeting into a clear next email

Capture the follow-up while the conversation is still fresh, then review it in Gmail.

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

Meeting takeaways and promised next steps can fade before an email gets written.

  • Start the follow-up while meeting context is available.
  • Use supplied notes and accessible supporter details.
  • Keep the final message under your control.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackbaud and Gmail once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the meeting follow-up draft to prepare.
  • 3Pick a webhook as the trigger and decide what request will start it.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real meeting and donor context, then review the draft.

Questions about this workflow

Where does meeting context come from?

Include the notes or key points in the webhook request if they are not stored in a connected source.

Will it invent commitments or next steps?

Tell it to use only supplied or returned details and to flag missing information rather than guess.
