Create a BigMailer list for device event follow-up

Give a one-off device response a clear home for its intended contacts in BigMailer.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create List

Creates a contact list within an existing brand.

Why this helps

Temporary follow-up groups are easy to lose among general contacts when they have no dedicated list.

  • Create a named list for an event-specific purpose.
  • Keep follow-up groups organized in BigMailer.
  • Avoid manually navigating away from event triage to set up a list.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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 list using the name and purpose included in the event request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real event request and review the list in BigMailer.

Questions about this workflow

Does this action add contacts to the new list?

No. It creates a list. Adding contacts requires a separate BigMailer contact action.

What does BigMailer need to create the list?

The list must be associated with an existing brand. Make the intended brand available to the automation.
