Add WhatsApp contacts after they opt in
Give an explicit subscriber opt-in a clear path from WhatsApp into your EmailOctopus list.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Contact
Add a new contact to a mailing list.
Why this helps
Manually recording an opt-in and then adding the subscriber to a list creates delay and room for missed details.
- Record only contacts whose webhook data includes an explicit opt-in.
- Reduce repetitive subscriber entry.
- Keep opt-in context available in the submitted request for review.

- 1Connect 2chat and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or describe the desired outcome to Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a contact in the selected list only when the webhook includes an explicit email marketing opt-in.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report destination.
- 5Test with one real opt-in request and confirm the resulting contact in EmailOctopus.
