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
Waitlist communications can be postponed when the decision is in Slack and campaign setup feels like a separate project.
- Convert a ready waitlist brief into a campaign draft.
- Keep the update tied to an explicit team decision.
- Make audience and eligibility review a visible next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bigmailer to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to draft a Bigmailer waitlist update from messages marked waitlist-email-draft.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and set a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with sample copy and verify audience assumptions in Bigmailer.
