Use a review signal to finish opt-out requests
A reaction can mark an explicit opt-out as ready for action. Notis can then unsubscribe the identified contact from Emailoctopus.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
This tool unsubscribes a contact from an emailoctopus list. it takes an email address as input, retrieves the contact's details using the find contact functionality, and unsubscribes the contact from the associated list.
Why this helps
Opt-out requests may be noticed but still sit unfinished while the founder moves between tools.
- Adds a visible review step before an unsubscribe action.
- Reduces the chance that an identified request remains unfinished.
- Uses the message reaction as a processing cue, not as proof of consent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Emailoctopus to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation to unsubscribe a contact from an explicit opt-out message after it is marked with your chosen reaction.
- 3Specify that the request must identify the email and clearly apply to the associated list.
- 4Select the Slack message reaction added trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one reviewed, real opt-out request and verify the contact is unsubscribed.
Questions about this workflow
Does adding the reaction alone unsubscribe a contact?
The instruction should require an underlying message with a clear opt-out request and identifiable email. The reaction is only a review cue.
Can this handle a request to leave multiple lists?
The action unsubscribes from an associated list. Describe a single, clearly identified list per request and verify the outcome.
