Fetch Slack context for a Bigmailer campaign
Give campaign alerts the conversation history needed for a useful next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
A campaign alert without recent decisions forces someone to search Slack manually.
- Enrich campaign alerts
- Reduce manual searching
- Keep decisions connected to data
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigmailer and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Campaign context fetch.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve recent history from the supplied Slack campaign channel and summarize decisions, blockers, and owners relevant to the incoming Bigmailer event.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one event containing a Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
How much history is retrieved?
Set a time range in the instruction, such as the last 48 hours, subject to available Slack history.
What if the channel is missing?
Notis can report that context was unavailable instead of inventing it.
