Set up a list for a distinct audience
When a new initiative needs a separate audience, create its EmailOctopus list from a webhook request rather than interrupting your work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create List
Create a mailing list to organize email contacts.
Why this helps
Stopping to create and name a new list during a busy launch can delay the next useful step.
- Create a dedicated list from a supplied audience need.
- Reduce context switching during campaign setup.
- Keep list creation tied to a concrete initiative.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation using Automations, New Automation, or a plain language request to Notis.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a list with the name supplied in the webhook when a distinct audience requires its own list.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report destination.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the new list in EmailOctopus.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating a list add subscribers?
No. This action creates the mailing list. Adding contacts requires a separate contact action.
Can a WhatsApp message directly trigger list creation?
No 2chat trigger is listed here. An external service needs to send the request to the Notis webhook.
What should the request include?
It should include the intended list name and enough context to establish that a distinct audience needs a separate list.
