- 5Test with one real request and review the course message.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Abstract does not provide a listed trigger event.
Can it send the full phone list?
The instruction can ask for a summary or selected results. Include personal details only when recipients should see them.
