Start Composio setup for new Outlook contacts
Give new relationships a ready integration path as soon as they enter your contacts.
Trigger
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Action
Initiate connection
Initiate a connection to a toolkit with comprehensive authentication support. supports all authentication scenarios: 1. composio default oauth (no parameters needed) 2. custom oauth (user's client id/client secret) 3. api key/bearer token authentication 4. basic auth (username/password) 5. hybrid scenarios (oauth + connection fields like site name) 6. connection-only fields (subdomain, api key at connection level) 7. no authentication required automatically detects and validates auth config vs connection fields, provides helpful error messages for missing parameters.
Why this helps
New contacts often require a connected tool, but setup waits until the workflow is already blocked.
- Begin setup at the right moment
- Reduce blocked contact workflows
- Keep authorization requests visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Composio once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named New Contact Connection.
- 3Tell Notis to initiate the required Composio connection for each new contact-related workflow and report the next authorization step.
- 4Pick New Contact Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Add one test contact and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Which toolkit will it connect?
Name the toolkit or decision rule in the automation prompt so Notis can initiate the intended connection.
Does this share contact data?
The workflow only uses the contact details needed for the connection request you define.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Outlook to Composio. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Outlook triggers
Composio actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Ask Oracle
Static helper that returns a comprehensive system prompt describing how to plan and execute tasks using the available composio tools and workflows. no inputs required; simply call to retrieve the prompt. always call this after the search tool is executed -- it will provide the best context on how to proceed, chain tools, and execute the task end-to-end. relevant tools referenced by the prompt: 1. composio search tools 2. composio multi execute tool 3. composio execute code 4. composio manage connections 5. composio bash tool
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Check active connection (deprecated)
Deprecated: use check active connections instead for bulk operations. check active connection status for a toolkit or specific connected account id. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on the toolkit.
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Check multiple active connections
Check active connection status for multiple toolkits or specific connected account ids. returns connection details if active, or required parameters for establishing connection if none exists. active connections enable agent actions on toolkits.
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Create Plan
This is a workflow builder that ensures the LLM produces a complete, step-by-step plan for any use case. WHEN TO CALL: - Call this tool based on COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS output. If search tools response indicates create_plan should be called and the usecase is not easy, call it. - Use this tool after COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS or COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS to generate an execution plan for the user's use case. - USE for medium or hard tasks — skip it for easy ones. - If the user switches to a new use case in the same chat and COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS again instructs you to call the planner, you MUST call this tool again for that new use case. Memory Integration: - You can choose to add the memory received from the search tool into the known_fields parameter of the plan function to enhance planning with discovered relationships and information. Outputs a complete plan with sections such as "workflow_steps", "complexity_assessment", "decision_matrix", "failure_handling" "output_format", and more as needed. If you skip this step for non-easy tasks, workflows will likely be incomplete, or fail during execution for complex tasks. Calling it guarantees reliable, accurate, and end-to-end workflows aligned with the available tools and connections.
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
Enable trigger
Enable a specific trigger for the authenticated user.
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Execute agent
Execute complex workflows using ai agent reasoning between multiple tool calls. use this for: complex multi-step workflows requiring reasoning, error handling and retry logic. use composio multi execute tool instead for: simple parallel operations, batch operations on similar data (e.g., fetch 5 emails, get 10 sent messages, retrieve multiple user profiles), independent tool calls that don't need each other's results, or bulk operations where all parameters are known upfront. performance: agent calls add ~2-3 seconds overhead. use for workflows >3 tools or requiring conditional logic. avoid for simple parameter passing.
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Execute Composio Tool
Execute a tool using the composio api.
Get Tool Dependency Graph
Get the dependency graph for a given tool, showing related parent tools that might be useful. this action calls the composio labs dependency graph api to retrieve tools that are commonly used together with or before the specified tool. this helps discover related tools and understand common workflows.
