Plan a month of breed spotlights in one draft

Bring several breed ideas together in one reviewable email instead of planning them one by one.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

Planning a series can fragment into separate lookups and unfinished notes.

  • Collect several breed spotlight ideas in one place.
  • Use details available from Cats.
  • Keep planning separate from publishing.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Cats and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Monthly Breed Series Plan.
  • 3Tell Notis to use Cats breed details to draft a month of distinct spotlight ideas and an email outline in Gmail.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule, set a channel for run reports, and test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Can it guarantee the breeds have not appeared in past issues?

Only if you provide prior issue history or that history is otherwise available to Notis.

Does the plan include complete researched articles?

The instruction can request an outline and available breed details. Review any facts before publication.
