Create Maintenance Notice Campaigns from Drive Briefs

Start campaign preparation from the maintenance notice brief, with the details ready for review.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

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.

Why this helps

Operational notices are time-sensitive, and campaign setup can get lost among other launch tasks.

  • Bring operational notice copy into campaign setup quickly.
  • Keep the source details close for review.
  • Reduce another manual handoff.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Bigmailer in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Bigmailer transactional campaign from each new planned maintenance notice brief, using only the provided details.
  • 4Choose Google Drive File Created and a destination for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real notice brief and inspect the created campaign.

Questions about this workflow

Can it schedule the maintenance notice for a specific time?

No. The available action creates a campaign and does not schedule delivery.

What if the maintenance window is missing?

Add it to the brief or instruction. Notis should not infer a date or time that Drive does not provide.

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

TriggerPolling

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
