Prepare an approval request for each new OneDrive version

Keep approvals moving with a draft that is ready as soon as the specified file gets a new version.

Trigger

New Version Created

Trigger that fires when a new version of a specified OneDrive file is created.

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 finished revision sits idle while someone remembers who needs to approve it and writes the request.

  • Start the approval handoff as soon as a new version appears.
  • Check recipients and wording before sending.
  • Reuse a consistent approval request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect OneDrive and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to draft an approval request for your reviewers when the specified OneDrive file gets a new version.
  • 4Pick the New Version Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real version creation.

Questions about this workflow

Does the approval request send automatically?

No. Notis creates a draft for you to review and send.

Can the request include approval criteria?
