Create Contacts from Webhook Events

When your web app, CMS, or another tool sends a webhook, Notis instantly creates a matching contact in Salesforce.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create contact

Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.

Why this helps

New contacts created in your external systems don't automatically appear in Salesforce. You manually export and import them, and many slip through.

  • Automatically syncs new contacts from external systems to Salesforce
  • Eliminates manual contact import and export workflows
  • Keeps your Salesforce contact database current in real-time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce to Notis and retrieve your webhook URL.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I receive a webhook from my web app with new contact information, create a contact in Salesforce with their details.'
  • 3Configure your external system to POST to your Notis webhook URL whenever new contacts are created.
  • 4Test by creating a contact in your external system—Notis will create it in Salesforce automatically.

Questions about this workflow

What contact fields can I send through the webhook?

Any JSON fields your system provides. Notis maps common fields like first name, last name, email, and phone automatically.

Can Notis associate the contact with an account?

Yes. Include account information in your webhook payload and Notis will create or find the account and link the contact.
