Send Gmail emails from submitted WhatsApp instructions
Move a ready-to-send request into Gmail without retyping its details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Email tasks can linger between a conversation and the inbox when no one transfers the request into a sendable message.
- Act on explicit email requests with complete details.
- Keep the sent content grounded in submitted context.
- Surface incomplete requests in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail once in the Notis portal and provide the WhatsApp instruction and context in the webhook request.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: Send the requested Gmail email only when the webhook content clearly includes a recipient and message; otherwise leave it unsent and report what is missing.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the sent email in Gmail.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
It should include the explicit instruction, recipient, and message content needed to send the email.
