Keep case study follow-up permission actionable
A customer may agree to hear more during a conversation, then the thread moves on. Notis can save a clearly consented follow-up contact for later.
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
Create Contact
This tool creates a new contact in emailoctopus. the tool will add a contact to a specified list with the provided information.
Why this helps
Customer advocacy opportunities get lost when consent is mentioned in a busy project channel and no one records the follow-up.
- Turns explicit follow-up consent into an Emailoctopus contact.
- Keeps a small advocacy follow-up from depending on memory.
- Can direct contacts to a dedicated list named in the prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Emailoctopus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to add contacts when a Slack channel message explicitly grants permission for case study follow-up and includes an email.
- 3Name the dedicated Emailoctopus list and the consent condition in a single plain-language instruction.
- 4Select the channel message trigger and a channel for Notis run reports.
- 5Test with one real permission record and check the destination list.
Questions about this workflow
Does agreeing to discuss a case study mean ongoing marketing consent?
No. Keep the instruction limited to the specific follow-up permission expressed and use a list appropriate to that permission.
What if the message has no email?
The contact cannot be added from that message; the prompt should only act when the needed contact detail is present.
