Send approved Coda messages through Gmail
Give a deliberate Coda approval the power to send the right message without another copy-and-paste step.
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
Approved communications can remain queued in Coda because sending each one still requires reopening Gmail and rebuilding context.
- Keeps sending tied to explicit approval
- Reduces repetitive email assembly
- Creates a clear communication checkpoint
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Gmail to Notis once.
- 2Describe how an approved Coda communication request should become a Gmail message.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one safe test request and confirm the delivered email.
Questions about this workflow
Can unapproved requests be rejected?
Yes. Make explicit approval a required condition in the instruction and test that safeguard.
