Trigger

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
Welcome email setup gets delayed when the brief and campaign live in separate tools.
- Start campaign setup as soon as a brief is created.
- Reuse the approved copy in the source document.
- Keep campaign creation tied to its original brief.
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 give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use each new welcome email brief to create a Bigmailer transactional campaign using only available details.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real welcome brief and review the created campaign.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the email to customers?
The listed action creates a transactional campaign. It does not send the campaign or enroll recipients.
What if the brief is missing a subject or sender?
Notis can use details that are present in the brief. Supply missing campaign details in your instruction or review the result before using it.

Create Transactional Campaign

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.
