Celebrate course completion with a ready-to-review draft
Use the completion details you supply to prepare a warm message without a blank-page start.
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
Positive milestones deserve timely recognition, but writing individual messages can slip behind urgent work.
- Makes timely recognition easier to prepare.
- Personalizes the message with supplied details.
- Keeps the draft editable before it is sent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to draft a congratulatory email from the completion details supplied by webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real completion example and verify the recipient and details.
Questions about this workflow
