Keep Apollo sequence status aligned with email
When your reply confirms a sequence contact should move on, Notis can update the contact's status in Apollo.
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
Update contact status in sequence
Updates a contact's status within a designated apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'.
Why this helps
Sequence records can keep running out of step with real conversations unless someone remembers to update them.
- Reflect clear reply outcomes in sequence records
- Reduce manual sequence cleanup
- Keep outreach activity closer to the real conversation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and add a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, define which sent replies mean a status change and provide the known contact and sequence identifiers and supported status.
- 4Choose the Email Sent trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real reply outcome and review the sequence status in Apollo.
Questions about this workflow
Can this set a contact's sequence status to active?
No. The Apollo action cannot set the status to active.
What if the sequence or contact is unclear?
The workflow needs the designated sequence and a reliable contact identifier. Do not update a record when the message does not identify them.

Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
