Turn submitted text into a contextual WhatsApp reply
Pass text and its conversation details to Notis, use Abstract to process it, and reply in context when a response is needed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send reply
Send a reply to a specific message in a whatsapp conversation. this creates a contextual reply that shows which message you're responding to. note: the reply will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Switching between text review and messaging makes short replies easy to delay or lose track of.
- Process submitted text before deciding whether to reply
- Keep a response tied to its specific WhatsApp message
- Reduce manual review and context switching

- 1Connect Abstract and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.

- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example, including the message details needed for a contextual reply.
