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
Issues are cancelled without explanation, leaving stakeholders confused about why work stopped. Neurodivergent founders forget to explain cancellations, seeming disorganized or flaky.
- Stakeholders understand why work was cancelled
- Reduce confusion and rebuild trust
- Document cancellation reasons automatically
- Keep communication transparent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Linear and Bigmailer integrations in Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue is marked as cancelled, send a transactional email to stakeholders explaining the cancellation reason and any alternative approaches.'
- 3Use 'Issue Updated' as your trigger for cancelled status.
- 4Notis extracts cancellation details from the issue.
- 5Test by marking an issue as cancelled and verify the notification email reaches stakeholders.
