Notis

Confirm a vehicle inquiry without another manual email

A quick confirmation lets the customer know their vehicle request is being handled.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Send Email

Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.

Why this helps

Small confirmation messages are easy to delay when you are switching between lookups and customer conversations.

  • Sends a concise confirmation using provided recipient details.
  • Acknowledges the vehicle inquiry promptly.
  • Frees you from writing repetitive status messages.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CarsXE and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe the confirmation and use only recipient details present in the request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real inquiry and a recipient you can verify.

Questions about this workflow

Will this send automatically?

Yes. The Gmail send action sends the email, so test with a recipient you control first.

What recipient data is needed?

The request or instruction must supply a valid email address for the recipient.

Does the confirmation include a promised completion time?

Only if you provide a reliable time commitment. Otherwise the message should acknowledge receipt without inventing one.
