Honor device update opt-outs promptly
Route an explicit opt-out from your connected system to EmailOctopus, so you do not have to remember to update the list by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
When opt-outs arrive through a device or project flow, manually carrying them over to the mailing list adds delay and follow-up work.
- Process an opt-out from a webhook sent by your connected system.
- Reduce manual list maintenance after a subscriber changes their preference.
- Keep the action limited to the address and list identified in the request.
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 name it for opt-out handling.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to unsubscribe the email address from the named EmailOctopus list only when the webhook represents a confirmed opt-out.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Send one real opt-out example and check that the intended contact is unsubscribed.
Questions about this workflow
Does this remove the contact from the list?
The action unsubscribes the contact from an EmailOctopus list. It is not the same as deleting the contact.
Can a device reading trigger an unsubscribe?
The webhook should represent an explicit opt-out request. A sensor reading alone is not a subscriber preference.
Does Adafruit IO provide the trigger event?
No. Use the Notis webhook trigger and have your connected system or backend send the HTTP request.
