Keep sequence status aligned with response signals
Turn a response event into an explicit Apollo sequence status update for the right contact.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update contact status in sequence
Updates a contact's status within a designated apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'.
Why this helps
A reply or other meaningful signal can arrive outside Apollo, leaving a sequence status out of date.
- Carry response signals into the relevant sequence record.
- Reduce manual sequence cleanup after activity elsewhere.
- Make status changes traceable to an incoming event.
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.
- 3Tell Notis which contact, sequence, and allowed status to update based on the incoming signal.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real response example and confirm the sequence status in Apollo.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation set a contact's sequence status to active?
No. Apollo's status update action cannot set the status to active. Choose a different supported status.
What information should the event include?
Include enough information to identify the contact and designated sequence, plus the status change to apply.

Create an Apollo account
Creates a new account in apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner id` or `account stage id` must be valid existing ids.
Create Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
Create Apollo deal
Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.
Create Apollo Task
Creates a distinct apollo.io task for each contact id in contact ids, assigning them to user id; this action is not for free plan users and repeated calls create duplicate tasks.
