Assign Apollo contacts from Outlook follow-ups
Turn a handoff email into clear ownership.
Trigger
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Update contact ownership
Updates the ownership of specified apollo contacts to a given apollo user, who must be part of the same team.
Why this helps
You mention a teammate in email, but ownership still sits with the wrong person in Apollo.
- Make handoffs explicit
- Reduce ownership confusion
- Keep follow-up responsibility visible

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Apollo once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that detects a handoff in a sent Outlook message and assigns the matching Apollo contact to the specified teammate.
- 3Pick New Sent Message as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one handoff email.
