Action
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.
Why this helps
Contacts added through older forms or imports may never reach the second system.
- Closes missing-contact gaps
- Captures refreshed details promptly
- Prepares contacts for later grouping

- 1Connect Mailchimp and ActiveTrail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to create the contact in ActiveTrail when the updated profile is not already present.
- 3Pick the Mailchimp Profile Update Trigger.
- 4Choose a report destination and test with one profile update.
Questions about this workflow
What if the contact already exists?
Tell Notis to create the contact only when no matching ActiveTrail contact exists.
Does creation add the contact to a group?
No. Newly created contacts are not linked to a group unless you add a separate group action.
