Create a BigMailer email campaign when an Adafruit IO alert arrives

Action

Why this helps
Device alerts can require a fast customer update, but assembling the right campaign takes attention away from the incident.
- Prepare a campaign from a device alert webhook.
- Keep incident details close to the customer communication.
- Reduce manual setup during an operational issue.

- 1Connect Adafruit IO and BigMailer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a BigMailer transactional campaign using the incoming device alert details and your supplied message content.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert webhook.
