Start campaign preparation when the renewal reminder brief is created, while its timing and wording are clear.
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
Renewal messages can be forgotten when the brief and campaign work are tracked in separate places.
- Connect renewal copy planning with campaign setup.
- Reduce repeated manual work for standard reminders.
- Surface missing timing details for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bigmailer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Bigmailer transactional campaign from a new renewal reminder brief using the details provided.
- 4Select Google Drive File Created and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one real renewal reminder brief and review the created campaign.
Questions about this workflow
Can this schedule a reminder for a renewal date?
No. The available action creates a campaign and does not schedule delivery. Any timing information must be included in the brief for review.
Can it calculate each customer's renewal date?
No. Customer-specific dates are not provided by the Drive trigger or listed campaign 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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get User Information
This tool retrieves information about the authenticated user in bigmailer using the get /me endpoint. it requires only authentication and no additional parameters, making it ideal for verifying api connectivity and retrieving essential user details.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
List All Brands
This tool retrieves a list of all brands associated with the authenticated bigmailer account. it allows users to view and manage their brands. the operation is executed via a simple get request to the /brands endpoint and requires proper authentication using the x-api-key header. the response is a json array containing information such as brand id, brand name, and other related details.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
