Keep follow-up drafts aligned with task changes
When a task's date, notes, or status changes, Notis can prepare a draft that reflects the new context.
Trigger
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
A follow-up draft can become stale after the plan or timing in its task changes.
- Use current task details when preparing a follow-up.
- Make changed dates or context visible in the draft.
- Reduce the need to remember which email needs updating.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis how to recognize follow-up tasks and what changes should prompt a revised draft, including how to handle an existing draft if its identifier is unavailable.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks Task Details Changed trigger for the task and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task change and inspect the resulting draft.
Questions about this workflow
Will this edit an existing Gmail draft?
The listed Gmail action creates a draft. Unless your setup supplies a reliable way to identify an existing draft, instruct Notis to create a new one or report that it cannot safely update the old draft.
Which task changes can it react to?
The trigger monitors changes to task details such as title, notes, status, due date, completion, and position.
