Understand the jargon in emails you send
Spot a word that may be unfamiliar to your recipient. Notis looks it up and returns a definition with a plain-language alternative to consider next time.
Trigger

Action

Why this helps
After sending an important email, it can be hard to tell whether specialized wording will be clear to the person reading it.
- Learn what a specialized term means after sending.
- Get a clearer wording suggestion to consider in future emails.
- Build awareness of jargon that may confuse a recipient.

- 2Create an automation in Automations with a prompt to identify a potentially unclear specialized word in a sent message, look it up, and suggest plainer wording.
- 3Pick the Email Sent trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent email that uses specialized language.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis edit or resend my message?
No. The workflow uses the Dictionary api to retrieve lexical data and can return a suggestion in the run report. It does not change the sent message.
Can I specify the recipient's background?
Yes. Include any relevant audience context in your automation prompt. Notis cannot infer information about the recipient that is not provided.
