Turn every new opt-in into an actionable ActiveTrail contact record.

Trigger

Subscribe Trigger

Triggered when a subscriber subscribes to Mailchimp

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 created in one platform often wait for a later import before anyone can act on them.

  • Makes new opt-ins visible in ActiveTrail quickly
  • Removes import queues
  • Provides a clean starting record for routing

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Mailchimp and ActiveTrail once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation instructing Notis to create the subscribing person as an ActiveTrail contact using the available email or phone details.
  • 3Pick the Mailchimp Subscribe Trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real signup.

Questions about this workflow

Will the contact be deliverable immediately?

A newly created contact is not linked to a group, so instruct the automation to use a group action as well when delivery is required.

What contact identifier is required?

The Create Contact action accepts either an email or an SMS number.
