Track responses to important emails you send
You send an important email and immediately forget about it. Notis creates a Slack reminder to check if you got a response, ensuring critical messages don't get ignored.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Founders send important emails but don't follow up when they don't get responses, leading to lost deals, missed opportunities, and frustrated stakeholders.
- Ensure critical emails get responses instead of languishing unanswered
- Reduce the guilt of not following up by automating the reminder
- Build persistence into your outreach without manual tracking
- Create accountability for important business communications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: ask Notis 'When I send a client email, remind me to follow up in 3 days if there's no response' or use the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome: 'Create a Slack reminder with the recipient, subject, and a direct action: Check for response or send follow-up.'
- 4Select the trigger: Email Sent to external recipients or specific domains.
- 5Choose a Slack channel for run reports.
- 6Test by sending an email and verifying a reminder is created.
Questions about this workflow
How long should I wait before being reminded?
Tell Notis in your prompt (e.g., '3 days,' '48 hours,' or 'next business day'). Set what's appropriate for your industry.
Can I exclude certain recipients?
Yes. Specify in your prompt (e.g., 'only for external senders' or 'skip internal team emails').
What if I get a response before the reminder?
You can manually dismiss the reminder in Slack, or refine your prompt to check for responses before reminding you.
