Send a document delivery email with Cloudlayer and Gmail
When the recipient and document are ready, use one webhook request to send a clear delivery message from Gmail.
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
Copying a finished document into a separate email can lead to a missed attachment or a vague handoff.
- Deliver the document with a clear accompanying message.
- Reduce missed attachment handoffs.
- Use recipient and document details supplied for the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for document delivery.
- 3In one instruction, describe the recipient, email content, and Cloudlayer attachment details, including the required attachment key, MIME type, and name.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recipient and document, then confirm delivery.
