Create proposal cover documents from sent email
Capture the scope you just sent in a polished document generated from your proposal template.
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
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
Proposal context is scattered across email threads, making it harder to prepare a consistent client-facing package.
- Create a consistent document from scope details already written.
- Spend less time assembling proposal materials.
- Keep the sent email and generated artifact connected in the workflow report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and add a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to generate a proposal cover document from sent emails that describe a proposed scope, using your chosen template.
- 4Pick Gmail's Email Sent trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sent scope or proposal email.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation know which proposal template to use?
Name or otherwise identify the Docugenerate template in your instruction, and confirm that the template is available in your connected account.
Can it invent missing proposal details?
It can use the information returned from the email. Tell it to leave unavailable information blank or flag it for review.
