Webhooks Trigger Instant Contact Sharing
Your CRM marks a lead as ready for outreach, a webhook fires, and Notis shares your sales person's contact on the lead's WhatsApp. Instant warm intro, no back-and-forth.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send contacts
Send contacts whatsapp number. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have initiated a conversation first.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders struggle with the logistics of introductions and handoffs. Finding the right contact, switching apps, and sending contact info manually feels like a million steps. Automating contact sharing reduces friction and speeds up collaboration.
- Instant contact sharing without manual app-switching
- Enables quick introductions and team handoffs
- Reduces communication delays in deal cycles
- Centralizes contact info in WhatsApp conversation history
- Ideal for lead handoffs and partnership introductions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Airtable and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Webhook Contact Share' and set the trigger to 'Webhook'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a webhook is received with contact info, send the contact to the specified WhatsApp number. Include name, phone, email, and a brief intro.'
- 4Notis provides a webhook URL for you to post to from your CRM, sales tool, or backend when a lead/opportunity is ready for handoff.
- 5Test by sending a webhook with sample contact data and verify the contact appears on WhatsApp.
Questions about this workflow
Can I share multiple contacts at once?
Yes. Include multiple contacts in your webhook and Notis will share them sequentially or as a contact list if the webhook supports it.
Does the recipient need to have messaged first?
For contact messages, yes—WhatsApp requires the recipient to have initiated contact first to receive this message type.
Can I customize what contact fields are shared?
Yes. Your prompt defines which fields to include. You might share name and phone for quick intros, or full details including LinkedIn for deeper connections.
Is this compliant with GDPR?
Contact sharing should respect privacy. Use your prompt to confirm that recipients have consented to have their contact shared. Include any necessary disclaimers.
