Welcome new subscribers with a cat fact
Give a new subscriber a warm first message that is simple to trigger and easy to recognize.
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
A welcome message can be forgotten when signups and email preparation live in separate places.
- Start the email from a signup webhook.
- Include a Cats fact and image URL.
- Send a consistent welcome message through Gmail.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cats and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Cat Fact Welcome Email.
- 3Tell Notis to use the supplied subscriber details, fetch a Cats fact and image, and send a welcome email to the provided address.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, set a channel for run reports, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook provide?
It should provide the new subscriber's email address and any personalization details the message needs.
Can I check the message first?
Use Create email draft instead of Send Email if you want manual review before sending.
