Close Tasks When You Send Follow-Up Emails

When you send a follow-up email about a task, Notis can automatically mark it complete in Salesforce—one less thing to manually update.

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

Complete task

Marks a task as completed with optional completion notes. this is a convenience action that updates the task status to 'completed'.

You complete work and send a follow-up email but forget to mark the task complete in Salesforce. Your task list gets cluttered with completed work.

  • Automatically closes tasks when you email about completion
  • Keeps your Salesforce task list accurate and current
  • Reduces manual status update overhead

  • 1Connect Gmail and Salesforce to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I send an email that mentions completing a task or follow-up, find the related task in Salesforce and mark it complete.'
  • 3Select 'Email Sent' as your trigger.
  • 4Send a test email mentioning completion of a specific task—Notis will mark it complete in Salesforce.
