Refresh Apollo contacts after prospect file renames

A clearer file name can carry useful context into the contact record.

Trigger

Item Moved or Renamed

Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.

Action

Update Apollo contact

Updates specified attributes of an existing apollo.io contact, identified by `contact id`; requires at least one other attribute to be provided for modification.

Why this helps

Renamed files often contain updated identity or account clues that never reach Apollo.

  • Preserve identity context
  • Reduce lookup time
  • Keep records understandable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect OneDrive and Apollo in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation describing how renamed prospect files should update matching Apollo contacts.
  • 3Pick the OneDrive Item Moved or Renamed trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one renamed file.

Questions about this workflow

Does the event include the original name?

Yes. The trigger includes old and new path or name data.

What if only the path changed?

Notis can use the path change as context and report whether an update is warranted.
