Prepare an EmailOctopus field for Ably feedback

Give a useful piece of feedback its own place on the list, ready for future contact updates.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Field

Creates a custom field on a mailing list.

Why this helps

Useful feedback data can be hard to reuse when the list has no field to hold it.

  • Add a specific place for a feedback attribute on the intended list.
  • Reduce repeated manual list setup.
  • Make later contact updates easier to organize.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, name the custom field and specify which EmailOctopus list should receive it.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real setup request to test the flow.

Questions about this workflow

Does this collect feedback from Ably by itself?

No. This action creates a custom field. The webhook request must describe the field and the target list.

Can I use this for Email, First Name, or Last Name?

The action is intended for additional custom fields beyond those default fields.

What if the field already exists?

The listed action creates a field. Check the list first and avoid sending a duplicate field creation request.
