Send a prepared client draft when it is approved
Move a reviewed client message from draft to sent when your instruction says it is ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Draft
Sends the specified, existing draft to the recipients in the to, cc, and bcc headers.
Why this helps
Approved messages still require a manual search for the right draft, which can delay an otherwise simple follow-up.
- Find a prepared draft using client context.
- Send only when the instruction explicitly approves it.
- Keep the message content in the existing reviewed draft.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bonsai and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it and add a prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify and send a specific existing Gmail draft only when the webhook request explicitly states it is approved, and report the draft selected.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a safe real draft and verify the draft identity before enabling normal use.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or edit the message?
No. It sends an existing Gmail draft. Review and prepare the draft before invoking the workflow.
Can it send without an approval signal?
The prompt should require an explicit approval in the webhook request. If that signal is absent or ambiguous, the workflow should stop and report that it needs clarification.
