Notis

Update a batch of EmailOctopus contacts from ActiveMerge

Handle a group of document-related contact changes in one pass instead of revisiting each record.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Batch Update Contacts

Updates multiple contacts in a mailing list in one batch.

Why this helps

Updating several contacts individually creates repetitive work and makes it harder to finish a list cleanup.

  • Process multiple supplied contact changes in a single batch action.
  • Reduce repetitive list maintenance after a document workflow.
  • Keep the update limited to the contacts included in the webhook.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe how to apply the supplied contact updates and which list to update.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real batch example and review the affected contacts.

Questions about this workflow

Where does the batch of changes come from?

The webhook must include the contact updates to process. ActiveMerge does not expose a listed trigger event here.

Can this add or change tags?

The batch action supports contact updates including supplied fields and tags.

Will it update contacts outside the supplied batch?

The instruction should limit processing to the records provided in the webhook.
