Check campaign approval threads
Keep approvals moving by checking the conversation before launch day.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Retrieve conversation replies
Retrieves replies to a specific parent message in a slack conversation, using the channel id and the parent message's timestamp (`ts`).
Why this helps
Approvals stall because nobody owns the job of checking every thread.
- Reduce approval delays
- Surface blockers sooner
- Create a repeatable check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigmailer and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Approval thread check.
- 3Tell Notis to review replies on Slack threads linked to scheduled Bigmailer campaigns and report threads with no clear approval, owner, or next step.
- 4Pick a daily Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 5Choose a Slack report channel and test with one upcoming campaign.
Questions about this workflow
Can it check only upcoming sends?
Yes. Tell Notis to use the upcoming schedule returned by Bigmailer.
What does it report?
It can list missing approvals, unresolved blockers, and the latest reply available.
