Keep track of what you promised by email
Notis can turn commitments in your sent messages into Airtable follow-ups while the context is fresh.
Trigger
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Small promises made in email are easy to forget once the conversation moves on.
- Capture explicit commitments soon after you send them.
- Keep the recipient and message context with the follow-up.
- Make promised next steps easier to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or explain the task to Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create a follow-up record when a sent email contains an explicit promise or action you owe, using only details supported by the message.
- 4Choose New Sent Message as the trigger and set a report destination.
- 5Test with one real sent email that contains a commitment and check the record.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a follow-up for every sent email?
Tell Notis to capture explicit commitments or actions you owe, so routine messages are not treated as tasks.
Can it decide when the promise is due?
It can use a due date stated in the message. If none is stated, give Notis a rule for handling missing due dates or have it flag the record for review.
