Review walkthrough activity in a weekly email draft
Give walkthrough activity a regular review point and turn available details into an editable summary.
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
Walkthrough observations can become difficult to revisit when there is no recurring summary to bring them together.
- Creates a regular summary of available walkthrough details.
- Helps surface follow-up items for review.
- Keeps claims tied to data the automation can access.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize available Blackboard walkthrough activity into a Gmail draft and flag missing details.
- 4Choose the cron trigger and schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and verify the activity summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule create walkthrough activity?
No. It starts the review. The summary depends on walkthrough details available to Notis.
Can it include follow-up tasks?
It can identify follow-up details present in the data, but should not invent owners or due dates that are missing.
