Draft an ActiveTrail campaign when a device alert arrives
Turn an important device event into a campaign draft with its context in hand, then review it before anything goes out.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Campaign
Creates an email campaign in draft unless configured to send it.
Why this helps
Writing an alert-related email from scratch can delay the response and make it easy to lose the details that prompted it.
- Create an ActiveTrail campaign in draft status from an alert request.
- Use the request context to shape the campaign content and intended group.
- Keep a human review step before sending.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ActiveTrail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to prepare an ActiveTrail campaign draft from the alert context.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and specify the request context and intended campaign groups.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real alert request and review the resulting draft.
Questions about this workflow
Will the campaign send automatically?
The campaign action creates a draft by default. The workflow prompt should keep it in draft status for review.
How does Adafruit IO start the workflow?
There is no listed Adafruit IO trigger event. An external tool or custom backend must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook when it detects the event.
What context should be included in the request?
Provide the alert details needed to write a useful campaign and identify the intended ActiveTrail groups. The exact information depends on the alert and audience.
