Update an Amplitude profile from a webhook

Send user context from another system through an HTTP request and let Notis update the matching profile.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Update User Properties in Amplitude

Update user properties using amplitude's identify api. this action allows you to: - set or update the user id for a device id - update user properties without sending an event - perform operations on user properties (set, append, etc.) - update user attributes like device info and location

Why this helps

User attributes arriving from external tools can be tedious to maintain by hand in analytics.

  • Update profiles from an HTTP-triggered workflow
  • Use supplied identifiers and values from external systems
  • Reduce manual property edits

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation for webhook-driven profile updates.
  • 3Tell Notis which supplied identity and property values to apply, including whether to set, append, or use another supported operation.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one request for a known user and review the profile update.

Questions about this workflow

What does the request need to contain?

Include a device ID or user ID and the property values you want updated. Notis cannot supply missing identity data.

Can the automation send an event at the same time?

This workflow uses the user properties action, which updates attributes without sending an event.
