Review EmailOctopus contacts when a Box task is approved
When a list review task is approved, pull the current contacts into a report to make the next step clear.
Trigger
Task Assignment State Changed
Fires when a task assignment’s resolution state changes.
Action
List Contacts
Retrieves a paginated set of contacts from a mailing list.
Why this helps
A completed review task can still leave list follow-up unclear if current contact records are in another app.
- Ties an approval event to a current contact review
- Makes the list data available in a run report
- Helps turn task completion into a concrete follow-up

- 3Pick the Box task assignment state changed trigger for the task and choose where reports go.

- 5Test with one real approved assignment and review the report.
