Turn actionable emails into Salesforce follow-ups
When an email asks for a call, quote, or next step, let Notis put the follow-up into Salesforce so it has a place in your work queue.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create task
Creates a new task in salesforce to track activities, to-dos, and follow-ups related to contacts, leads, or other records.
Why this helps
Email requests can fall out of sight when follow-ups live only in an inbox thread.
- Convert explicit requests into trackable Salesforce tasks.
- Carry over the requested next step and relevant email context.
- Avoid creating tasks for messages with no clear action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Salesforce task for new emails with a clear sales follow-up, using the email's requested action and due date only when stated.
- 4Pick the Outlook New Outlook Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email that requests a follow-up and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a task for every email?
No. Describe the kind of explicit sales request that should become a task, and ask Notis to ignore messages without a concrete follow-up.
Can it assign a task to a contact or lead?
Notis can use the relationship when the email provides enough information to identify the Salesforce record. If it cannot identify the record confidently, tell it to leave the relationship unspecified or skip the task.
