Why this helps

A request about a mailing list can mean switching between your inbox and EmailOctopus just to confirm the sender's status.

  • Check a sender's EmailOctopus details from the context of their message.
  • Review subscription status before taking a follow-up action.
  • Reduce inbox-to-marketing-platform context switching.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Emailoctopus once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to find the sender's contact in the Emailoctopus list you specify and summarize the returned details.
  • 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message from an address in the specified list.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow add or change a contact?

No. It uses Get Contact to retrieve a contact's details. It does not create, update, or unsubscribe the contact.

Which list will it check?

Specify the EmailOctopus list in your instruction. The workflow uses that list when looking up the sender.

What if the sender is not in the list?

Notis can report that the lookup did not return a contact. This workflow does not add them automatically.
