Log sent proposals for follow-up
Turn the moment a proposal leaves your outbox into a durable record your team can use for follow-up.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
General Object Retrieval
Tool to retrieve objects from a specified backendless table with filtering, sorting, and pagination. use after confirming the table name and query options. example: "get users where age > 30 sorted by created desc".
Why this helps
After sending a proposal, founders often rely on memory or inbox searches to know when and what to follow up on.
- Create a searchable record of proposal sends.
- Capture email metadata such as recipient, subject, time, and thread ID.
- Make follow-up review less dependent on inbox memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Describe how Notis should identify proposal emails and what details to store in your existing Backendless table.
- 4Choose the Email Sent trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent proposal and review the resulting record.
Questions about this workflow
Can it calculate when a proposal follow-up is due?
Provide your follow-up rule in the instruction. A sent-email trigger does not itself provide a follow-up date.
Do I need an existing table?
Yes. Name a Backendless table that already exists, since the listed object retrieval action does not create tables.
