Check DND before escalating campaign alerts
Route urgent campaign alerts with awareness of the owner's current availability.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get team DND status
Retrieves a user's current do not disturb status.
Why this helps
Escalations arrive at poor times or skip the person who is actually available.
- Improve escalation timing
- Reduce unnecessary interruptions
- Make routing decisions clearer
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigmailer and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Alert availability check.
- 3Tell Notis to check the supplied campaign owner's Slack DND status when an urgent Bigmailer alert arrives and report whether immediate escalation is appropriate.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one urgent alert payload.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change anyone's DND status?
No. It only retrieves the current status.
What if the owner is unavailable?
The report can identify that state so your escalation instruction can choose another route.
