Keep Clay-related Gmail drafts from going stale
Make a small recurring pass over drafts so promising follow-ups do not disappear into the inbox backlog.
Trigger
Recurring schedule

Action
List drafts

- Bring existing drafts back into view on a schedule.
- Use account context supplied to the workflow to assess relevance.
- Help prioritize drafts that may be ready for review.
Setup

- 1Connect Clay and Gmail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe which drafts to review and how supplied Clay account context should inform the run report.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real draft and verify the review summary.
Questions about this workflow
Will this send or edit drafts?
No. List drafts retrieves drafts for review and does not send or edit them.
Can it identify which drafts relate to Clay accounts?
It can compare details available in the drafts with account context supplied to the workflow. Provide the needed account details.
Can the report tell me what to do next?
Yes. Ask for a concise review summary and suggested next steps, based only on the available information.
