Notis

Follow through on consent-confirmed contact additions

When a team member records a relevant permission confirmation in Slack, Notis can complete the corresponding ActiveTrail group update.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Add Group Member

Tool to add a member to a group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a contact to a specific group with their email and optional contact details.

Why this helps

A confirmed signup or permission gets noted in chat but the intended list update is delayed or forgotten.

  • Make a documented permission signal actionable.
  • Reduce missed updates after signup confirmation.
  • Keep group membership aligned with the team's stated intent.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and ActiveTrail to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add only contacts with an explicit permission confirmation in the message to the specified ActiveTrail group.
  • 4Select Channel Message Received and choose a reporting channel.
  • 5Test using one real confirmation message and verify the intended group member.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow establish permission by itself?

No. It acts on a clear permission confirmation already documented in Slack. The prompt should require an explicit confirmation and the information needed to identify the contact.

What if the message lacks an email address?

The workflow should not guess or add an incomplete contact. Have the prompt treat insufficient details as a reason to report the missing information.
