Act on documented unsubscribe requests
Record an unsubscribe request in a Google Doc and use its first keyword detection to trigger the EmailOctopus action.
Trigger
Keyword Detected in Document
Triggers the first time a specified word or phrase appears in a document.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
A documented unsubscribe request can be overlooked when someone must remember to find the subscriber and update their status.
- Reduce manual follow-up on documented requests
- Tie the trigger to a phrase you choose
- Use the unsubscribe action for list preference changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to identify the requesting email and unsubscribe that contact from the intended list.
- 4Pick Keyword Detected in Document as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document containing the configured phrase and a clear contact email.
Questions about this workflow
Will the keyword trigger repeatedly?
It fires once when the specified phrase is detected, then will not fire again until the trigger is reset.
Can it unsubscribe someone from any list automatically?
The action needs the relevant list context and an identifiable email. Make those details clear in your instruction and review the run report.
