Trigger
Campaign Trigger
Triggered when a campaign is sent or experiences an event in Mailchimp
Action
Start Collection
Tool to start processing a collection's queued requests. Use after creating or pausing a collection to initiate its queued requests.
Why this helps
Queued eBay research can sit idle after launch while the team switches back to campaign work.
- Removes a launch-day manual step
- Begins queued requests at the right moment
- Keeps campaign operations and market research aligned
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mailchimp and Countdown api once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Start eBay Research.
- 3Tell Notis to start the prepared Countdown api collection associated with the sent campaign and report if its ID is unavailable.
- 4Choose Campaign Trigger, select where run reports should go, and save it.
- 5Test with one real sent campaign and confirm processing starts.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a collection if none exists?
No. It starts an existing collection, so provide or maintain the collection ID in the automation context.
What happens if the collection is already running?
Ask Notis to report the current status instead of starting it again.
