Keep fundraising list names aligned with Affinity
When an initiative name changes, carry the approved update into EmailOctopus through a simple webhook request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update List
Renames a mailing list.
Why this helps
Outdated list names make it harder to recognize which fundraising effort a mailing list supports.
- Update a specified list name from an approved request.
- Reduce confusion when initiative names change.
- Keep a clear report of the completed list update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and EmailOctopus once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the outcome you need.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to rename the specified EmailOctopus list to the approved initiative name in the incoming request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, approved list rename request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new list?
No. Update List renames an existing EmailOctopus list.
Can the name be inferred from an Affinity deal?
Only if the approved name is included in the request or otherwise available to Notis. Supply it explicitly when needed.
Can contacts be moved to a different list?
This action only updates a list's name. Contact movement is not among the supplied action events.
