Trigger

Action
Get Contact Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific contact in brevo. you can identify the contact using their email address (url-encoded), their unique contact id, or their sms attribute value.
Why this helps
Following up across course discussions and contact records creates extra searches and makes timely responses harder.
- Reduce manual switching between discussion threads and contact records.
- Surface available contact details for a response decision.
- Keep the workflow grounded in actual Brevo contact data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Brevo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe whose contact details to look up and how to report them for follow-up.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and review the lookup result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a reply to the discussion author?
No. The available action retrieves Brevo contact details. The workflow can report context, but it cannot post a Canvas reply.
What if the discussion message does not contain an email address?
Tell Notis which reliable identifier to use if available. If the event lacks a usable identifier, contact lookup may not be possible.
