Carry opt-out requests from tasks into EmailOctopus
Record an unsubscribe request in Google Tasks and have Notis apply it to the identified EmailOctopus list.
Trigger
New Task Created
A new task is created in a task list.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
A subscriber's opt-out request can be recorded in a task but missed in the mailing list used for campaigns.
- Connect an opt-out handoff to the list action.
- Reduce the chance of leaving an identified request unprocessed.
- Keep a run report for follow-up when task details are incomplete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that unsubscribes only when a new task clearly documents an opt-out and identifies the email and list.
- 3Pick New Task Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 4Test with one real opt-out task and confirm the intended contact and list.
Questions about this workflow
What details should be in the task?
Include the contact's email address, the EmailOctopus list, and that the person requested to unsubscribe. Instruct Notis to report missing or ambiguous details.
Does this delete the contact?
No. The selected action unsubscribes the contact from a list; it does not delete the contact.
