Keep opted-in device subscribers in sync
When someone opts in to updates about a connected device or project, let Notis keep their EmailOctopus contact current from the webhook your system sends.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create or Update Contact
Creates a contact if absent or updates it if already in the list.
Why this helps
Copying opt-ins from connected device flows into a mailing list creates busywork and can leave subscriber records out of date.
- Create a contact when the webhook includes a new opted-in email address.
- Update an existing contact when the same email address opts in again.
- Keep the workflow tied to an explicit consent signal from your connected system.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create or update the EmailOctopus contact from the opt-in details in each webhook, using the list you name.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and set the report channel for run updates.
- 5Send one real opt-in example to the webhook and review the EmailOctopus result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, and have your connected system or backend send an HTTP request when an explicit opt-in occurs.
Will this send a marketing email?
No. The action creates or updates a contact. It does not send a campaign.
What information should the webhook include?
Include the subscriber's email, the intended EmailOctopus list, and any contact details you want Notis to use. Only send contacts that have opted in.
