Create contacts as they arrive

Let contact intake happen in the background while you stay focused on the work that brought the lead in.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Contact

Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.

Why this helps

New contacts can be forgotten between intake and the manual step of adding them to ActiveTrail.

  • Create contacts promptly
  • Avoid repeated data entry
  • Keep intake flowing

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the intended outcome.
  • 3Describe creating a new ActiveTrail contact from each request, including an email or mobile number.
  • 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real contact request.

Questions about this workflow

Will a new contact automatically belong to a group?

No. The create-contact action does not link the contact to a group. Use an appropriate group-member action when group membership is needed.

What contact identifier is required?

The action requires either an email address or a mobile number.
