Route contact handoffs to the right Apollo owner
When an event names the next owner, let Notis update ownership for the identified Apollo contacts.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update contact ownership
Updates the ownership of specified apollo contacts to a given apollo user, who must be part of the same team.
Why this helps
Ownership changes can be recorded in an event stream while the Apollo contact still sits with the previous teammate.
- Apply explicit ownership handoffs to Apollo contacts.
- Reduce time spent finding and reassigning contacts by hand.
- Keep the change tied to the incoming handoff details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how to assign the listed Apollo contacts to the teammate named in each handoff event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real handoff example and verify the new owner in Apollo.
Questions about this workflow
What must the event provide?
It needs to identify the Apollo contacts and the intended Apollo user. The new owner must belong to the same Apollo team.
Can Notis assign a person who is not in Apollo?
No. The owner must be an existing Apollo user on the same team.
