Keep custom field definitions aligned with your workflow
Send a field maintenance request to Notis and update the selected EmailOctopus field's properties.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Field
Updates a custom field’s properties; changing its tag affects how templates reference it.
Why this helps
A field definition that no longer fits the workflow can cause confusion whenever subscriber data is reviewed.
- Make field maintenance request based
- Specify the property changes needed
- Keep the update run report for reference
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 which existing field to update and which supported properties should change.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real field update request and inspect the result.
Questions about this workflow
Which field properties can be updated?
The action can update the label, tag, type, and fallback value of an existing custom field.
Can changing a field tag affect templates?
Yes. The field tag is how the field is referenced in email templates, so review any related templates after changing it.
