Why this helps
Contact information can go stale while teams rely on an old list and forget to revisit it.
- Set a predictable time to revisit a supplied list
- Keep returned updates in a Drive document
- Make contact refresh easier to remember
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the weekly refresh.
- 3Tell Notis which contact list is supplied for each run, to request refreshed enrichment from Bettercontact, and to save returned details in Drive.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger, set its schedule, and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one real contact list.
Questions about this workflow
Can it identify changes from the previous week?
Only if you provide the previous baseline or a list that marks the contacts to refresh. The listed capabilities do not expose historical comparison data.
Will the output replace my existing contact list?
This workflow saves results as a new Drive document. Replacing an existing file would require a different action and explicit instructions.
