  • Removes stale contact records
  • Reduces manual deletion requests

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Mailchimp and ActiveTrail once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation instructing Notis to delete the matching ActiveTrail contact only when your retention policy calls for permanent removal.
  • 3Pick the Mailchimp Unsubscribe Trigger.
  • 4Choose a report destination and test with one controlled unsubscribe.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion reversible?

No. Delete Contact permanently removes the contact, so use this only when your policy requires it.

Does it also remove group memberships?

Deleting the contact removes the contact record; describe any additional cleanup you require.
