Remove a contact from a customer list by DM

Handle a specific audience removal request from the DM where it arrives, with Notis carrying out the requested Google Ads list update.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

Add or remove to customer list

Addorremovetocustomerlist tool will add a contact to a customer list in google ads. note: it takes 6 to 12 hours for changes to be reflected in the customer list.

Why this helps

A removal request that waits for manual processing can become an easy-to-miss follow-up.

  • Keep list removal requests attached to their original context.
  • Reduce manual follow-up for a clear requested change.
  • Get a report of the attempted update.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Google Ads to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to remove a contact only when a Slack DM clearly requests removal from a named list.
  • 3Select the Slack direct message trigger.
  • 4Choose a run-report channel and test with an authorized example containing the contact and list details.
