Keep EmailOctopus list names aligned with Box folders
One folder rename can update the corresponding list name, so campaign labels stay easier to recognize.
Trigger
Folder Properties Changed
Fires when a folder’s core properties change.
Action
Update List
Renames a mailing list.
Why this helps
Campaign names drift across storage and email tools, adding uncertainty when choosing a list.
- Reduces mismatched campaign labels
- Makes the intended list easier to identify
- Keeps naming changes in one small task
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and a plain language outcome.
- 3Pick the Box folder properties changed trigger for the campaign folder and choose where reports go.
- 4Tell Notis how to identify the corresponding EmailOctopus list and the naming rule to follow when updating it.
- 5Test with one real folder rename and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will it rename every list to match the folder?
No. The instruction should identify the specific corresponding list or a reliable way to identify it, and the run report should make the change clear.
Does this change campaign content?
No. It updates a list name only.
