Create an Emailoctopus list from a Telegram audience request
Capture a new audience idea as a list while it is fresh, without pausing to build it by hand.
Trigger
New Message Received

Action
Create List
This tool creates a new mailing list in emailoctopus. it allows users to create a new list where contacts can be added and managed.
Why this helps
Useful segmentation ideas often stay buried in chat because setting up a new list feels like a separate admin task.
- Convert a clearly scoped segment idea into a mailing list.
- Keep list creation tied to an explicit request.
- Reduce the effort of moving from a chat decision to a campaign setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Emailoctopus to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create an Emailoctopus list only when a Telegram message clearly requests a new named audience list.
- 3Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real, specific list request and confirm the list name in Emailoctopus.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a list for every audience idea?
Use the prompt to require an explicit request to create a distinct list, rather than treating every brainstorm as an instruction.
What should a good request include?
A clear name or description of the intended audience makes it easier to assess whether a new list was requested.
