Turn clear Box unsubscribe requests into list updates
Capture a clear opt-out recorded in a tracked Box comment and update the matching EmailOctopus subscription status.
Trigger
Comment Changed
Fires when a comment’s content or details change.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
An unsubscribe request noted in a document comment can be overlooked while the mailing list remains unchanged.
- Brings a clear opt-out into the list maintenance workflow
- Reduces the chance of overlooking a recorded request
- Reports comments that do not identify a matching contact
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 comment changed trigger for the tracked file or comment and choose a report channel.
- 4Tell Notis to unsubscribe a contact only when the comment clearly requests it and identifies the email address and EmailOctopus list; otherwise report it for review.
- 5Test with one real comment update and confirm the resulting run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will it unsubscribe someone based on an unclear comment?
No. Instruct Notis to act only on an explicit unsubscribe request with a clearly identified email and list, and report ambiguous comments for review.
Can this workflow send a confirmation email?
No. The available action unsubscribes the contact from a list.
