Announce new Coda project pages through Gmail
Turn a new project page into a shared starting point without drafting the kickoff announcement separately.
Trigger
New Coda Page Trigger
Triggers when a new page is added to a Coda document.
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
A project page can be ready in Coda while collaborators remain unaware that work has officially started.
- Makes project starts visible
- Reduces duplicate kickoff writing
- Directs collaborators to one source of truth
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Gmail to Notis once.
- 2Describe which new Coda project pages should result in a kickoff email and what the message should accomplish.
- 3Select New Coda Page and choose your run-report channel.
- 4Create a test project page and confirm the announcement.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new page send an email?
Not if your instruction requires a project template, approval status, or naming convention.
