Create a mailing list from a structured request
Send a request to your Notis webhook and have Notis create the EmailOctopus list described in the request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create List
Create a mailing list to organize email contacts.
Why this helps
A list setup request can get buried in a queue while campaign work waits for a place to organize subscribers.
- Turn an incoming request into a list setup task
- Keep list naming instructions in one prompt
- Receive a run report for each request
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 to create a list using the name and purpose supplied in the incoming request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example request.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the webhook starts it. Include the list name and other context Notis needs in the request.
Does creating the list add contacts?
No. Create List makes a mailing list. Contacts can be added with a separate workflow.
