Send Gmail updates from a Coda customer page
Turn an approved status change into a timely customer message without opening another communication loop.
Trigger
Specific Coda Page Updated Trigger
Triggers when a specific page within a Coda document is updated.
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

- Sends time-sensitive updates promptly
- Reduces tool switching
- Creates a clear communication handoff
