Keep Apollo account context current with confirmed Slack updates
When the team shares a confirmed company change, Notis can update the matching Apollo account.
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
Update an Apollo account
Updates specified attributes of an existing account in apollo.io.
Why this helps
Important company updates can remain in Slack while the account record grows stale.
- Preserve useful company context in the account record.
- Reduce duplicate entry after important team updates.
- Make account reviews easier to prepare.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Apollo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In plain language, ask Notis to update a matching Apollo account only when Slack states a confirmed company change and identifies the account clearly.
- 4Select the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one verified update and review the resulting account change.
