Why this helps

Incoming infrastructure requests often require manually collecting the same space inventory from a separate system.

  • Centralize availability research
  • Speed up response preparation
  • Make inventory easier to scan

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Bonsai in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Email space inventory summary.
  • 3Tell Notis to detect infrastructure availability requests in new emails, list all available Bonsai spaces, and organize the result by server group and geographic region.
  • 4Choose New Outlook Message as the trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one request.

Questions about this workflow

Can it filter by a required region?

Yes. State the region criteria in the instruction, and Notis can summarize matching spaces when the data supports it.

Does it reserve capacity?

No. It only lists available spaces.
