Create a dedicated fundraising list from an Affinity webhook
Start each fundraising initiative with a clean EmailOctopus list when your Affinity process sends the signal.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create List
Create a mailing list to organize email contacts.
Why this helps
New fundraising efforts can stall while someone manually creates and names a mailing list.
- Create a separate list when an initiative begins.
- Reduce the setup handoff between deal work and email marketing.
- Use the webhook request to supply an appropriate list name.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and EmailOctopus once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the intended result to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, say to create an EmailOctopus list using the initiative name included in the incoming request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real initiative request and verify the new list.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a list from a native Affinity event?
No. Affinity exposes no trigger events in this package. A Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request arrives.
Can it add the investors to the new list at the same time?
This workflow uses the Create List action only. Adding contacts would require a separate workflow and a supported contact action.
Where does the list name come from?
Include the initiative name in the webhook request or specify another available source. Notis cannot supply a name that is not provided.
