Webhooks Trigger Location Sharing
Your calendar marks a meeting as confirmed, a webhook fires, and Notis sends the meeting location to attendees' WhatsApp. One tap to see the address, no email digestion needed.
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
Meeting locations get buried in email or calendar invites that people miss. Neurodivergent participants especially benefit from direct, simple location sharing in their communication app. This reduces no-shows and last-minute 'where is the meeting?' messages.
- Location is shared directly in WhatsApp where attendees are active
- Reduces meeting no-shows caused by missed email details
- One tap to navigate to the venue
- Easier for ADHD participants to remember and act on
- Reduces last-minute 'where is it?' messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Airtable and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Meeting Location Share' and set the trigger to 'Webhook'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a webhook is received with meeting details and location, send the location to attendees on WhatsApp with the meeting time and title.'
- 4Set up your calendar tool (Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly) to send a webhook when events are confirmed or 30 minutes before start.
- 5Test by creating a test meeting event and verifying the location appears on WhatsApp.
Questions about this workflow
Does this integrate with my calendar?
Yes, if your calendar has webhook support (most do via Zapier or IFTTT). Notis will send location when the webhook triggers.
Can I add navigation instructions?
Yes. Your prompt can include 'send the location plus parking details' or 'include a tip about finding the building entrance.'
What if the meeting is virtual?
Your prompt can handle both cases: 'if virtual, send the Zoom link; if in-person, send the location.' Notis will adapt.
Do attendees need to have messaged first?
Yes, for location messages WhatsApp requires prior contact initiation. If not, use a reminder text message instead.
