Keep sent-email follow-ups from slipping
Turn an outgoing email into a clear prompt to follow up, without keeping the recipient and timing in your head.
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
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Follow-ups often get lost once an email leaves the outbox and attention moves to the next task.
- Create a Slack reminder linked to a sent email that needs attention.
- Keep follow-up work visible after leaving the inbox.
- Lower the chance that a promising conversation goes cold.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which sent emails deserve a follow-up reminder.
- 3Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real sent email that needs a later check-in.
Questions about this workflow
Will every sent email create a reminder?
Describe in the plain-language instruction which messages need a follow-up and what reminder should be created.
Can I choose the follow-up timing?
Include the timing you want Notis to use in the instruction. Slack reminders support a specified time.
