Send GitHub release announcements through Bigmailer
Let published release notes become a clear customer update while the details are fresh.
Trigger
GitHub Release State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes. Monitors the release title, body/notes, draft flag, prerelease flag, published timestamp, target branch/commit, and the set of attached assets. The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.
Action
Create Transactional Campaign
This tool creates a new transactional campaign within a specified brand in bigmailer. it allows users to programmatically create new transactional campaigns by using the provided parameters (brandid, name, subject, fromname, fromemail, htmlcontent, etc.). the api endpoint returns details such as campaignid, name, status, and created at when a campaign is successfully created.
