Why this helps
Re-entering contact details after a document workflow adds small admin tasks that are easy to forget.
- Create a contact if it is not already on the specified list.
- Update an existing contact with supplied details.
- Avoid repeated manual entry after document workflows.
Setup

- 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 which contact details to update from the webhook and when to leave existing values unchanged.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example webhook and inspect the resulting contact.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if the contact is already on the list?
The action creates the contact if needed and updates it if it already exists.
Can Notis infer details absent from the webhook?
No. The webhook must supply the information you want applied.
Does this change subscription consent?
Describe the intended handling in the instruction and supply the relevant information. Do not treat document completion alone as marketing consent.
