Notis

Support every business follow-up with survey data

Turn a sent promise into a documented data follow-up while the context is still available.

Trigger

New Sent Message

Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.

Action

Get American Business Survey

Tool to retrieve annual business survey (abs) data for a specified year and endpoint.

Why this helps

Follow-up research gets lost after an email is sent and the inbox moves on.

  • Captures follow-up work at send time
  • Creates evidence for business claims
  • Reduces forgotten research tasks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Census bureau in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named ABS follow-up from sent email.
  • 3Describe that Notis should read the sent message, identify its business data request, and retrieve the matching ABS year and endpoint.
  • 4Choose New Sent Message as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test by sending one message that contains a real data follow-up.

Questions about this workflow

Will it send another email automatically?

This workflow retrieves and reports data; it does not send a follow-up unless you create a separate authorized workflow.

Can it preserve the original request?

Yes. Ask Notis to include the relevant sent message context in the report.
