Start the next step after sending outreach
After a meaningful outreach email, let Notis move the existing contact into the ActiveCampaign automation you choose.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Add Contact to Automation
This tool adds an existing contact to a specific automation in activecampaign. it first looks up the contact by email address to get their id, then adds them to the specified automation using the /api/3/contactautomations endpoint.
Why this helps
A sent email often needs a second step, but remembering to start the right nurture automation adds another task.
- Reduce manual enrollment after outbound outreach.
- Connect sent communication to an existing follow-up path.
- Keep a next step from being forgotten after sending.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and ActiveCampaign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe which sent emails should start follow-up and name the ActiveCampaign automation.
- 4Choose the Gmail Email Sent trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real qualifying email and confirm the existing contact was added.
