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

Blocked issues silently fail without anyone noticing, especially when work happens across teams. Neurodivergent founders forget to check blocker status, so dependency-heavy work stalls.

  • Blockers surface immediately, preventing silent stalls
  • Relevant people see what's blocking them and why
  • Unblock work faster by raising visibility
  • Track which blockers are highest-impact

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Bigmailer to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue is labeled as blocked or blockers are added, send a transactional email to the assignee, their manager, and anyone dependent on this work, including what's blocking it and expected resolution time.'
  • 3Set 'Issue Updated' as your trigger when the blocked label is added.
  • 4Notis will identify who needs to know and send targeted alerts.
  • 5Test by adding the blocked label to an issue and verify notifications reach the right people.

Questions about this workflow

How do I let Notis know who's dependent on this work?

Tell Notis: 'Check for linked issues and notify anyone who has this issue linked as a blocker.'

Can I request escalation for long-standing blockers?

Yes. Tell Notis: 'After 3 days blocked, escalate to leadership with summary of impact.'

Should I send different alerts for external vs internal blockers?

Good idea. Tell Notis: 'For customer-blocking issues, send urgent format; for internal blockers, send standard.'
