Ask for the vehicle details needed to continue
Turn an incomplete lookup into a clear, specific request for the information that would help move the work forward.
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
When a lookup lacks a needed detail, figuring out what to ask for can add another round of inbox work.
- Identifies missing information from the supplied lookup context.
- Asks only for details relevant to the stated next step.
- Leaves the request as a draft for review.
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 which missing details should prompt a request email.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one lookup response that is missing a known detail.
Questions about this workflow
Will it always ask for a VIN?
Only if the lookup context or your instruction makes a VIN relevant and missing.
Does it guess what data is missing?
It can identify gaps in the supplied information, but should not claim CarsXE supports a field unless that is established.
Does Gmail send the request?
No. This workflow creates a draft for your review.
