Send an event location to WhatsApp
Put the supplied location into the conversation where someone can use it right away.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send location
Send a location message to a whatsapp number. note: the location will be shared with the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Address details can get lost in a long event payload or require repeated copy and paste.
- Make location details easier to open on a phone.
- Avoid retyping supplied location information.
- Keep the destination tied to the event that triggered the message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to send the supplied location and a short event label to the intended recipient.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and confirm the location is correct.
Questions about this workflow
What location data is needed?
The request must supply a location that the WhatsApp action can use.
Can the recipient receive a location if they have never messaged the business?
No. The recipient must have texted first for this location message to be delivered.
Will Notis validate the address?
Do not assume it can verify a location. Confirm the event payload contains the intended place.
