Honor opt-out requests tied to calendar changes
If a calendar change comes with a clear request to stop marketing emails, let Notis unsubscribe the matching EmailOctopus contact.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Fires when a calendar event is created, updated, or deleted.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
An opt-out request in a scheduling conversation can be missed when it is handled separately from the mailing list.
- Act on explicit marketing opt-out requests.
- Reduce manual handoff from scheduling messages to list management.
- Use the unsubscribe action for the matching contact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to identify an explicit marketing opt-out and which EmailOctopus list should be checked.
- 4Pick the Outlook Calendar Event Changes trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real calendar change associated with an opt-out request.
Questions about this workflow
Does a calendar change alone unsubscribe anyone?
Your instruction should require an explicit request to stop marketing emails. A calendar update by itself is not an opt-out.
Can this unsubscribe someone if their email is unclear?
The action needs an email address to find the contact. If the address is unavailable, Notis cannot identify the contact reliably.
Can it unsubscribe from a specific list?
Specify the relevant list in your instruction and confirm that the matching contact can be found there.
