Questions about this workflow
How often should I update the message?
Every release cycle, or quarterly. Tell Notis to pull the latest update from a Salesforce field or a URL.
Can I send different updates based on contact type?
Yes. Tell Notis to check their role (buyer, engineer, etc.) and send the relevant product info.
Is this appropriate for all new contacts?
You can filter it—e.g., only send to enterprise prospects, or skip competitors. Tell Notis your filter rules.
