Validate a Canvas contact email on demand

Check an address when you find it in Canvas, using a simple request instead of adding another manual lookup.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Email Validation

Tool to validate whether an email address is real and deliverable. use after collecting an email address to confirm deliverability.

Why this helps

When an address needs checking right away, switching between Canvas and a validation tool slows down the next step.

  • Start an email check from an HTTP request when a Canvas address needs review.
  • Get a deliverability result without opening a separate validation tool.
  • Send the outcome to a report channel you already monitor.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate the email address supplied in the webhook request and report the result.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test by sending one real Canvas contact email in a webhook request.

Questions about this workflow

Does the webhook fetch contact details from Canvas by itself?

No. The request must supply the email address to validate.

Can I use this for addresses that are not from Canvas?

Yes, if you provide the address in the webhook request; this workflow is intended for Canvas contact checks.
