Draft a clear email whenever a PDF is ready to share
Get the CloudPDF handoff into Gmail without rebuilding the message from scratch.
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
PDF links and recipient context can get lost between document work and follow-up.
- Prepare a consistent handoff email for review.
- Keep document context close to the share event.
- Avoid switching from CloudPDF to Gmail to start each message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudPDF and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a Gmail email using the PDF sharing details in the incoming CloudPDF webhook.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real CloudPDF webhook and review the draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does CloudPDF start this workflow directly?
CloudPDF has no listed trigger event, so a Notis webhook starts the automation when it receives an HTTP request carrying the document sharing context.
Will the email send automatically?
No. This workflow creates a Gmail draft for you to review and send.
