Keep Apollo contact details current from email

If a sent message confirms a corrected detail, Notis can apply that update to the matching Apollo contact.

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 Apollo contact

Updates specified attributes of an existing apollo.io contact, identified by `contact id`; requires at least one other attribute to be provided for modification.

Why this helps

Small corrections shared in email are easy to miss, leaving contact records stale for the next interaction.

  • Capture confirmed corrections from sent mail
  • Keep known Apollo records current
  • Avoid retyping simple contact updates

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, tell Notis which confirmed detail changes to apply and require a known Apollo contact id and explicit corrected value.
  • 4Choose the Email Sent trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real confirmation and check the updated contact attributes in Apollo.

Questions about this workflow

Can this update any contact attribute?

The action updates specified attributes and requires a contact id plus at least one attribute to modify. Provide only values the message clearly confirms.

Should a vague statement change a record?

No. The workflow should update only when the message clearly states the corrected value.
