Turn a ready-to-use welcome brief into a campaign draft while keeping the final review with your team.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
Repeatedly rebuilding welcome copy from scattered notes makes onboarding feel like another admin task.
- Reuse the welcome details already gathered in Slack.
- Create a campaign draft as soon as the brief is ready.
- Leave time for a human review of personalization and links.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bigmailer to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a Bigmailer onboarding campaign draft from Slack messages marked welcome-email-draft.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test with a sample welcome brief and inspect the campaign draft in Bigmailer.

What should the brief include?
Include the intended audience, welcome message, subject, sender information, and any links that need review.
