Start your trading day with an Alpaca market brief
Review a short, consistent snapshot in WhatsApp instead of assembling one from several screens.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Manually checking several assets each morning makes it harder to start the day with a clear overview.
- Receive a repeatable market snapshot
- Focus the brief on assets you name
- Keep the summary in a chat you already check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize available Alpaca market data for the assets and signals you name, then send a concise WhatsApp brief.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run it once with a real example and confirm the data and message are useful.
Questions about this workflow
What assets will the brief cover?
Name the assets in your instruction. Notis should report only data available from the connected Alpaca account and should not invent missing values.
Does this workflow place trades?
No. It sends a text summary through the WhatsApp Send message action.
Can it message a recipient outside the WhatsApp conversation window?
The listed Send message action says delivery occurs only if the recipient has texted first.
