Send cat event invitations from one request
Pass along the event details and let Notis prepare a clear invitation email with a cat image.
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
Invitations get delayed when event details, visuals, and recipient lists need to be gathered in separate places.
- Start invitations from a webhook request.
- Use a Cats image to give the email a relevant visual.
- Send the supplied event details through Gmail.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Cat Event Invitation.
- 3Tell Notis to use the supplied event details, fetch a suitable image from Cats, and send the invitation to the provided recipients.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, set a channel for run reports, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow invent missing event details?
No. Supply the date, time, location or link, and any other information needed for a complete invitation.
Can I review the email before it goes out?
Use the Gmail draft action instead of Send Email if you want a review step.
