Write announcements for the member group that needs them
Build a focused announcement draft around the audience and message you specify, without composing every note from scratch.
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
A broad announcement can miss what a particular group needs, while tailoring it manually takes time.
- Keep announcement content relevant to a defined group
- Reduce repeated copywriting
- Review audience and message before sending
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a draft for the member segment and announcement details supplied in the request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and specify how an approved announcement request will start it.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real segment and announcement.
Questions about this workflow
Can it select the member segment automatically?
Only when the segment criteria or member list is supplied by Brilliant Directories or your request. Specify the intended audience clearly.
Will it send an announcement to members?
No. It creates a Gmail draft for review; sending remains a separate action.
