Webhooks Trigger Template Messages

Your support tool marks a ticket as critical, a webhook fires, and Notis sends a template message to the on-call engineer on WhatsApp. Notification lands instantly.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Send template message

Send a template message to a whatsapp number.

Why this helps

Neurodivergent founders manage many tools and miss notifications in each one. Creating a single notification channel (WhatsApp) via webhooks reduces cognitive load and ensures critical alerts reach people who need them.

  • Instant notifications from any tool that supports webhooks
  • Pre-approved templates ensure compliance
  • No manual sending required
  • Centralizes all critical alerts in WhatsApp
  • Supports any tool with webhook capability

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Airtable and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
  • 2Create a new automation called 'Webhook Template Alert' and set the trigger to 'Webhook'.
  • 3Write your prompt: 'When a webhook is received from an external tool, send a pre-approved template message to the specified recipient on WhatsApp with the critical alert details.'
  • 4Notis provides a webhook URL. Configure your external tool (Sentry, PagerDuty, etc.) to POST to this URL when alerts trigger.
  • 5Test by sending a test webhook and verifying the template message appears on WhatsApp.

Questions about this workflow

Which external tools support webhooks?

Most modern SaaS tools do: Sentry, PagerDuty, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe, Shopify, etc. Check your tool's integration settings.

Can I route webhooks to different people based on content?

Yes. Your prompt can include logic: 'if priority=critical, alert the on-call lead; if priority=warning, notify the team channel.'

Are template messages pre-approved by WhatsApp?

Yes, template messages are WhatsApp-approved. You create templates in your WhatsApp Business account first, then reference them in your automation.

What's the latency between webhook and message delivery?

Typically under a second. WhatsApp delivery depends on the recipient's connection.
