Handle clear unsubscribe requests found in YouTube activity
Keep a clear unsubscribe request from getting lost in channel activity, with ambiguous cases surfaced for review.
Trigger
New YouTube Activity
Triggers when new activity is detected on a channel.
Action
Unsubscribe Contact
Unsubscribes a contact from a mailing list while keeping their record.
Why this helps
When activity and audience requests arrive in the same stream, a real opt-out can be missed or an ambiguous comment can be acted on by mistake.
- Process only activity that clearly asks to unsubscribe and includes a usable email address.
- Send ambiguous or incomplete requests to a run report instead of changing subscription status.
- Reduce manual checking between YouTube and EmailOctopus.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language to create one.
- 3In one instruction, say to unsubscribe the supplied email from the designated list only when activity clearly requests it, and report missing or ambiguous details without acting.
- 4Pick New YouTube Activity as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, including a clear request and a case that should be reported for review.
Questions about this workflow
Will any negative YouTube comment unsubscribe someone?
No. Instruct Notis to act only on a clear unsubscribe request tied to a supplied email address. General negative feedback should be reported for review.
Does the event identify which EmailOctopus list to use?
The event list does not establish a mailing list. Specify the intended list in your instruction and ensure the supplied email can be matched there.
What if a request has no email address?
The workflow should not guess who made the request. Have it report the missing address so you can review it.
