Send the location behind a local search
Make a local result easier to act on by sharing its location directly.
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
Copying location details into a separate conversation adds friction to a simple request.
- Share a supplied location directly in a WhatsApp conversation.
- Tie the location to a local search request in the webhook.
- Make a relevant result easier to use.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to send the location included in the webhook when it matches the local search request and recipient context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real local search example and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp number first.
