Capture email sign-ups from WhatsApp interactive replies
When a customer taps a reply and clearly opts in to email, Notis can keep the subscriber record up to date in EmailOctopus.
Trigger
Interactive Reply Received
Action
Create or Update Contact
Creates a contact if absent or updates it if already in the list.
Why this helps
A promising button reply can be easy to overlook when you still have to find the conversation and update your mailing list yourself.
- Process interactive replies that clearly indicate email consent.
- Create or update the supplied email address in the selected EmailOctopus list.
- Keep list administration connected to the conversation that started it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create or update a contact in the chosen EmailOctopus list only when an interactive WhatsApp reply clearly opts in to email and provides an address; otherwise take no action.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real opt-in reply and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Can a button tap alone provide an email address?
Only if the reply data or its conversation context includes the address. If no email is available, the instruction should make no contact change.
Should every interactive reply add a subscriber?
No. Only a reply that clearly represents consent to email and includes an address should add or update a contact.
